Présentation de l'éditeur
Assuming that ancient shipping means shipping in the Mediterranean between 1000 B.C. and looo A.D., and that a history of shipping should deal with everything connected with ships, I find that I have upon my hands a task of no small magnitude; and I do not quite know when this task will be accomplished. That being so, I am bringing out this portion of the work before the rest; this portion being tolerably complete already, and dealing with a question that may conveniently be discussed apart from any other, namely, the character of the ships themselves. Ancient ships have already formed the subject of dozens of books and pamphlets; and I necessarily have made myself acquainted with the bulk of this literature, from Dr Assmann slatest article in the A rchdologisches Jahrbuch back to the treatise De Re Navali published by L. de Baif in 1536. I do not wish to underrate my obligations to previous writers on the subject, for they have informed me of many things that I was not at all likely to discover for myself. But, taking them altogether, I have found their works more voluminous than valuable. As a rule, they have relied too much upon their predecessors.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of ancient ships, from the first water-faring vessels with oars through the massive, multi-tiered warships of ancient Rome, Egypt, Greece, and beyond. Through extensive research, the author meticulously analyzes the arrangement of oars to power these ships and the implications these arrangements had on the war strategies of the time. The author begins the book with early Egyptian ships and concludes it with the late Roman and Byzantine vessels that used rowers. This scholarly work is not only a comprehensive look at ancient ships but also a fascinating and thorough examination of the ancient world's naval warfare.
