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.

An octeres is a gigantic 50 meter long warship with two decks of oars, each row powered by four oarsmen, developed around 220 BCE, or possibly earlier, by the Macedonians.
