Shipwright

The rule of law allows trade to flourish, even at sea.

Coastal patrols were vital to protect the majority of trade routes around the Empire. The navy used smaller, faster ships such as biremes, and had naval garrisons along the coast to police the seas. Their main mission was safeguarding merchant ships against piracy, which was a huge problem in the Mediterranean. Julius Caesar himself was held for ransom by pirates in his youth; foolishly, they laughed at the young Caesar but, after the ransom was paid, he hunted down and crucified his captors! Eventually Rome did dominate the Mediterranean and the Romans, with a typical bit of arrogance, referred to the sea as 'Mare Nostrum' or 'Our Sea'.

1	80	Light Ship / Missile Ship / (Ita_Skirm_One_Halfer) Raiding Hemiolia - Levy Skirmishers These swift, manoeuvrable ships are a useful scouting force for any admiral. These levies are armed with javelins, and skirmish in front of the main battle line.

2	60	Light Ship / Melee Ship / (Ita_Spear_Two) Assault Bireme - Italian Spearmen With a ramming attack that can break an enemy hull, these ships are deadly weapons. Angry Italians with spears should never be dismissed lightly.
