Port of Massalia
A vital port used for all purposes.For all those states bordering the Mediterranean it was vital to command the seas around their land. Any people wishing to expand looked to control trade routes and invade other countries by sea. It was far easier to sail 1,000 km than march a tenth of that distance. Good ports were the key and became the hub where shipbuilding yards were found cheek-by-jowl with markets, naval garrisons and countless sea-based traders. The port that served Athens, Piraeus, was described by Aristophanes as a hectic, bustling concoction of sailors clamouring for pay, rations being served out, men trafficking for corn, onions, leeks, and figs, all to the sound of the hammering of the dockyards and boatswains’ pipes and flutes. Carthage made its wealth and name through its two artificial harbours, and Alexandria in Egypt was also one of the largest ports of the ancient world.

Medium Ship / Missile Ship / (Bar_Missile_Raider_Dac) Missile Raider - Dako-Thrakioi Akontistai Small raiding boats, with crews large enough to board enemy vessels. (Dacian Skirmishers) These skirmishers are used to plague an enemy line with repeated volleys of javelins. |

Medium Ship / Melee Ship / (Bar_Raider_Dac) Assault Raider - Komatai Pelekuphoroi Small raiding boats, with crews large enough to board enemy vessels. (Dacian Axemen) Aside from their large contingents of Drapanai, the Pelekuphoroi are the common warriors of the Karp and Kostobok tribes. They wield bronze axes and have sturdy round shields. Their scale leather provides adequate protection against Scythian arrows and Bastarnae spears but will do little to stop a heavy, curved falx blade. These fast, hardy troops are best used in ambushes, hit-and-run attacks, or flanking manoeuvres against heavier warriors, but are fierce enough to stand in the battle line if the situation demands it. |
