Roman Navy
The Roman Navy was remarkable for its size reach and longevity. As significant as the Royal Navy was to the British Empire in the nineteenth century the Roman Navy was crucial to the extraordinary expansion of Imperial power and for its maintenance over a period of more than 800 years. The fabric and organisation of this maritime force is at the core of this new book.At the height of its power the Roman Navy was at least in numerical terms the largest maritime force ever to have existed. It employed tens of thousands of sailors and maintained and fought fleets of ships larger than any forces since. In these pages the author looks at all the aspects of the Navy in turn. Shipbuilding rigs and fittings and shipboard weaponry are covered as are all the principal ship from the earliest types to
the very last. The command structure is outlined as are all aspects of the crews lives their recruitment terms of service training and uniforms. Life onboard food and drink discipline religion and superstition are described while seamanship and navigation are dealt with along with bases and shore establishments. Operations feature prominently the allied and enemy navies compared and specimen battles employed to explain fighting tactics.All these aspects changed and developed hugely over the great span of the Roman empire but this fascinating book brings this complex story together in one brilliant volume.
