This book, written in 1973, is for readers interested in the naval
history of the ancient peoples of the Mediterranean. The period
covered starts with Greek and Phoenician vessels of 800-700 BC and
includes ships up to 800 AD. The aim of the book is to fill a gap
by concentrating on the practical aspects of naval warfare in
antiquity, and the battles selected for description are intended to
show the development of tactics and strategy, rather than
illustrate the general history of the period. It includes
descriptions of the ships, crews, tactics and campaigns of Greek,
Persian, Carthaginian, Hellenic, Roman, Celtic, Germanic,
Scandinavian and Byzantine fleets. Long out of print, this reprint
brings an important text to modern readers.
