The Lateen Sail - A Greco-Roman Invention
#14
I read about some piece of evidence like that. However, I would like to see a detailed discussion about it before I buy it. The coin is very much stylized.

There are Greco-Roman depictions of sails, too, on which much ink has been spilled whether they show a square or a triangular sail (see Kelenderis ship).
Stefan (Literary references to the discussed topics are always appreciated.)
