The Ancient Mariners, Seafarers and Sea Fighters of the Mediterranean in Ancient Times. - CASSON, L.,
KORTE INHOUD
?Professor Casson, himself an experienced sailor, has provided for the first time, on the basis of both the literary and the archaeological evidence, a comprehensive study of the constructions and equipment of commercial and naval vessels, of the techiques of navigation and naval warfare, bringing out very clearly both the capabilities and the limitations of ancient vessels. The famous naval engagements are analyzed in detail. One of the most useful results of Professor Casson?s researches is his collection of the evidence for the speed of ancient ships and the duration of the voyages of which records have been preserved.?
