The Most Fearsome Ship in the World

Показать описание
The Roman fleet (Latin classis Romana) became the pinnacle of the development of ancient naval forces. He absorbed the best achievements of the conquered peoples, logically completing and summing up the development of maritime affairs in antiquity.
The Roman people always had a fleet ready for the glory, benefit and greatness of their state, and not because of necessity in any excitement; precisely so that there would never be such a need, he always had a fleet ready. After all, no one dares to call to war or offend that kingdom or people, which, as he knows, can quickly resist and punish for this courage.
Roman ships were, on average, larger than similar Greek or Carthaginian ones. Large ships were sometimes armored with bronze plates. They had removable masts (up to three on quinqueremes and hexers), which were installed with a fair wind. Before the battle, the masts were removed, and the sails were rolled up and folded into covers, and wet cowhide skins were also hung along the sides to protect against incendiary shells.
The Bireme is a type of ancient ship which was supposedly invented by the Phoenicians and extensively used by the Romans.
