Piraeus

Piraeus is the harbour of athens.

Any port needs a safe anchorage and a harbour where cargoes are manhandled onto ships. Greeks and Romans had different approaches: the Greeks adapted to the local environment, while Romans tended to bend nature to their wills. This is clear in their harbour designs. As the Roman Empire grew, harbours had to be built as disembarkation points, sometimes in areas where there was no natural inlet, bay or easy landing spot. In such cases Roman engineers set out to remake the coastline, and they created artificial harbours for their ships. Using wood, concrete and huge stone blocks, they built dams, piers, wharfs, sea walls and even artificial islands to protect harbours. Trajan’s extraordinary harbour at Centumcellae had a large basin dug into the shoreline of the River Tiber, all enclosed by huge walls. It was also connected by canal to Ostia further down the river.

1	60	Light Ship / Melee Ship / (Gre_Assault_Bireme_Ath) Assault Dieres - Athenai 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. (Athenian Marines) Athens once ruled an impressive maritime empire, and these soldiers are a remnant of those days. They are equipped with the finest arms and armour, and pack a considerably heavier punch than similar troops.

2	140	Medium Ship / Melee Ship / (Gre_Assault_Quinquereme_Ath) Penteres - Athenai Epibatoi A quinquereme is a 45 meter long galley with three decks of oars, in a pattern of 2-2-1 oarsmen, developed around 400 BCE by the Syracusans. Its large size allows many marines on board, and also allows ballistae to be mounted on the large decks.

They are equipped with the finest arms and armour, and pack a considerably heavier punch than similar troops.

It is a useful battleship developed by the Carthaginians at the end of the 4th century BCE, but it lacks the speed and agility of lighter triremes.

Popular with Carthaginian, Greek and Roman navies, this is the main warship of the classical age. (Athenian Marines) Athens once ruled an impressive maritime empire, and these soldiers are a remnant of those days. They are equipped with the finest arms and armour, and pack a considerably heavier punch than similar troops.

These are dropped onto enemy ships and can quickly ignite the decks. (Athenian Marines) Athens once ruled an impressive maritime empire, and these soldiers are a remnant of those days.

6	100	Light Ship / Missile Ship / (Gre_Pursuit_Hemolia_Ath) Pursuit Trihemiolia - Athenai Epibatoi Toxotai The trihemiolia is a lighter version of the trireme, with two and a half rows of oars. 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. (Greek Marine Archers) Recruited for naval service, these Greek archers are just as useful on land.

7	80	Light Ship / Missile Ship / (Gre_Raiding_Hemolia_Ath) Raiding Hemiolia - Athenai Epibatoi Toxotai A hemiolia is a light and fast raiding ship developed in the 4th century BCE, favoured by pirates but also used by navies as a light patrol ship. It has one and a half rows of oars, making it faster and more powerful than earlier uniremes. (Greek Marine Archers) Recruited for naval service, these Greek archers are just as useful on land.
