Greek or Roman, just as long I could be part of a row team propelling a warship into battle. Down in the ship where it smells so bad you would not detect a dead body. Thats where you’ll make friends for life. Everybody trying the best they can because you don’t wat to sink with a lock around your legs. Sounds like adventure. Relaxt boatride while havin someone playin drums all day. Awesome..
