Lacydon

Lacydon is the fortified harbour of Massalia.

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_Mas) Assault Dieres - Massaloi 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. (Massilian Marines) Soldiers trained for perilous service aboard the galleys of the navy, but also as an offensive force on land.

2	120	Medium Ship / Melee Ship / (Gre_Assault_Tetreres_Mas) Assault Tetreres - Makhairophoroi Epibatoi A quadrireme is a 39 meter long oared warship with two decks of oars, each rowed by two oarsmen. 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. (Massalian Marine Swordsmen) Massalia does not follow the classical evolution of Hellenistic armies with the adoption of the pike phalanx, but instead she has developed her own tradition, influenced by Celtic and Roman influences. These marines form an elite corps, fighting in the Roman fashion to defend Massalia on land and at sea.

Popular with Carthaginian, Greek and Roman navies, this is the main warship of the classical age. (Massilian Marines) Soldiers trained for perilous service aboard the galleys of the navy, but also as an offensive force on land.

These are dropped onto enemy ships and can quickly ignite the decks. (Massilian Marines) Soldiers trained for perilous service aboard the galleys of the navy, but also as an offensive force on land.

5	100	Light Ship / Missile Ship / (Gre_Pursuit_Hemolia_Mas) Pursuit Trihemiolia - Massaloi 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.

6	80	Light Ship / Missile Ship / (Gre_Raiding_Hemolia_Mas) Raiding Hemiolia - Massaloi 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.
