A late 19th Century illustration of a Roman Galley, a type of ship that is propelled mainly by oars and/ or sails. They have been around so long their exact origin remains unknown. By the time naval warfare was being recorded, they allowed naval powers to dominate the Mediterranean world. Galleys went on to play a huge part in the battle for the Mediterranean between the Romans and Carthaginians in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC – the Punic Wars.
