A groundbreaking new chronological study of the role played by the Navy in the successful development of the Roman Empire.

The Roman Navy was remarkable for its size, reach and longevity. As significant as the Royal Navy was to the British Empire in the nineteenth century, the Roman Navy was crucial to the extraordinary expansion of Imperial power and for its maintenance over a period of more than 800 years. The fabric and organization of this maritime force is at the core of this new book.

*Traces the development of ships and naval warfare from Alexander the Great to the Battle of Actium.
