Description
Imperial Roman Warships 193-565 AD by Raffaele D'Amato The Roman Empire's early period of relative peace came to an end with the Marcomannic Wars, marking the beginning of a tumultuous era of near-constant warfare. The Roman Navy faced new challenges, patrolling the Mediterranean and engaging in battles against skilled invaders such as Genseric and his Vandals. This book examines the equipment and tactics used by the navy during this period, using research from newly discovered shipwrecks, archaeological finds, and contemporary source material. Carefully researched ship profiles and maps bring to life the ultimate evolution of the Roman fleet, a period marked by the fall of Rome and the resurgence of the Eastern Empire under Justinian the Great. With spectacular illustrations, this third volume in Osprey's Roman Warships miniseries provides a detailed look at the Roman Navy's equipment, tactics, and battles during a fascinating and complex period in Roman history.
