Ptolemaioi (Imperator Augustus) Port Level 3

Docks

Command of the sea requires a powerful navy.

Shipbuilding, maintenance and having a safe harbour were obviously crucial to the trade and expansion of any Mediterranean people. From 500BC, the Greek trireme was the backbone of Hellenic navies. Up to forty metres long, and powered by a crew of 170 highly trained, professional rowers, the trireme was narrow and light, if a little unstable. Rowers were expected to throw javelins and sling stones while seated so as not to rock the boat! In Piraeus, the port of Athens, up to 750 triremes could be sheltered in nearly 500 neosokoi, or covered hangars, when not in use. The Carthaginians constructed an artificial harbour or 'cothon' to protect their ships from the sea. It is believed that other cothons could be drained to act as dry docks, allowing for ship maintenance.

1	60	Light Ship / Melee Ship / (Gre_Assault_Bireme_Egy) Assault Dieres - Machimoi Epibatoi A bireme is a 30 meter long oared warship (galley) with two decks of oars, thought to have been invented by the Phoenicians in the 8th century BCE. Often called a liburnia in later Roman fleets, these swift yet durable warships are excellent for boarding actions and coastal patrols. (Egyptian Marines)

Popular with Carthaginian, Greek and Roman navies, this is the main warship of the classical age. (Egyptian Marines)

These are dropped onto enemy ships and can quickly ignite the decks. (Egyptian Marines)

Developed by the Rhodians, it has been their favoured ship design for centuries and is an ideal pirate hunter, able to keep up with lighter raiding ships. (Egyptian Marine Archers)

It has one and a half rows of oars, making it faster and more powerful than earlier uniremes. (Egyptian Marine Archers)

7	100	Light Ship / Transport Ship / (Supply_Ship_Greek) Supply Ship - Supply Crew These merchant ships can carry vast amounts of supplies, and are the best solution to supply forces operating on land. A fleet with a supply ship can supply nearby land forces until the fleet runs out of supplies. Supply lines by sea are generally less expensive than those on land.
