weapons and armour of the greek marine
#31
As early as in the 1st Punic War the ratio of trieres compared to tetreres or penteres was rather low, the triere was not longer that useful against the heavier vessels. For the 2nd c. AD I would have guessed for liburnae as the main vessels; these would have been not much bigger than trieres however. Or came the trieres back into use when the scale of the warships declined after the hellenistic time?
