Heavy Tower Hepteres - Hamian Archers
The threatening towers on these powerful warships should serve as a warning to enemies!Syrian composite bows are considered the world's best.
An arms race in warship size developed between the various nations around the Mediterranean. Size, in terms of the number of rowers, ships length and bulk and above all majesty of the vessel became as much a tool of statecraft as of warfare. A people who could afford such ships were almost certainly rich enough to withstand the strains of any war. A 'four' or quadreme was still a handy warship, able to manoeuvre in battle. The same could not be said of some of the large polyremes, a word meaning many oars. Practical archaeology shows that too many banks of oars simply don't work, so polyreme probably referred to the number of rowers: an octeres is likely to have had some eight rowers per bank of three oars, arranged in three, three, and two to an oar going up from the waterline. King Demetius of Macedon led his fleet at the battle of Salamis in 306BC from the deck of a hepteres or 'seven', but his ambitions didn't stop there. Neither did those of other kingdoms, and later lumbering warships including 'elevens', 'thirteens' and larger. As bigger ships to carry more rowers such vessels could also carry big marine contingents, arrow towers and an array of useful artillery.
(Hamian Archers)
The Romans were met with little resistance when they invaded Syria under Pompey's leadership. The city of Hama fell to Rome in 63 AD and its 500 garrisoned Hamian bowmen were subsequently turned into a specialised auxiliary regiment. Stationed in Britannia, far from their native valleys in the Middle East, the Hamians were sent to protect the remote Roman province from barbarian raiders. These crack archers served several purposes. Undoubtedly an excellent defensive unit, they were able to shoot accurately over a considerable distance. As part of the local garrison, they undoubtedly participated in the construction of Hadrian's Wall and were also responsible for supplying the Roman army with meat and game, using their excellent skills to bring down prey for food.
