Greetings!
Can anyone point me at any sources talking about Roman riverine warfare? A search on 'riverine' here does not produce much. Perhaps more appropriate terms exist. I am most interested in specifically such warfare in the Germanies and in Gaul, but any examples are of interest.
Associated with that, is anyone here familiar with any research that shows the extent of roman military shipping and the navigability of lesser rivers such as the Nidda and Nidder in the Wetterau? Were the kastells resuppliable by barges via these tributaries? I am rereading Dr. Baatz's work "Die Roemer in Hessen" but he doesn't seem to touch on those subjects.
Thanks so much in advance.
