Shipsheds of the Ancient Mediterranean (Paperback)
Expected to ship within 12 - 19 working days

This is the first detailed and comprehensive study of the shipshed
complexes which housed the great navies of the Greco-Roman world,
including Athens and Carthage. These complexes represented some of
the largest and most expensive building projects of antiquity, and
the volume provides a comprehensive survey of the archaeological
and literary evidence. It explains how the buildings were carefully
designed to keep warships dry and out of reach of shipworm, whilst
enabling them to be launched quickly, easily and safely when
required. It also serves as a handbook for archaeologists who may
excavate such buildings, which are often difficult to identify and
interpret. The analytical chapters are complemented by a full and
detailed catalogue of known sheds, with plans for all the major
sites specially drawn for easy comparison. The book thus provides
an indispensable guide for all those interested in these buildings
and in the maritime infrastructure of the ancient world.
