Hi Jens, sorry I can't help you in regards to the three Michael Pitassi books you listed but I have 2 books by Lionel Casson which although he writes about ancient seafarers, he includes the Roman Navy as well as Byzantines,Greeks and Phoenicians. You may already have them but the 2 books I have are
"The Ancient Mariners" by Lionel Casson
"Ships and Seamanship in the Ancient World" by Lionel Casson
The only other book I have about the Roman Navy is "Roman Britain and the Roman Navy by David J.P. Mason. The best of the 2 Casson books to me is "Ships and Seamanship in the Ancient World" it is 592 pages in length and covers warships,merchant ships and sailing ships, crews, markings and names, harbours plus many other aspects of ancient naval history.
Regards
