Description

A History of Seafaring in the Classical World, first published in 1986, presents a complete treatment of all aspects of the maritime history of the Classical world, designed for the use of students as well as scholars. Beginning with Crete and Mycenae in the third millennium BC, the author expounds a concise history of seafaring up to the sixth century AD.

The development of ship design and of the different types of ship, the varied purposes of shipping, and the status and conditions of sailors are all discussed.

Many of the most important sea battles are investigated, and the book is illustrated with a number of line drawings and photographs.

Greek and Latin word are only used if they are technical terms, ensuring A History of Seafaring in the Classical World is accessible to students of ancient history who are not familiar with the Classical languages.
