Although they are only ashes now, (thanks to the Wehrmacht or Waffen SS if the story of their destruction is true), the interpretation that these rotating platforms were for catapults seems a plausible explanation. Some wood from the ships still survives though. It would be interesting to get an accurate date and source of the timber through denrochronology. If it "fits" for Actium, then who knows? <br>
