     109   * '''History:''' The Corbita was the most famous class of Roman merchant ships, known as Oneraria. They had a cargo capacity of 60-300 tons on average, with variants known to carry as much as 400 tons. These vessels traveled all over the Mediterranean, and could be found literally on every trade route.

    118    * '''History:''' The Roman navy was one of the best in the Mediterranean. Being an inland people, the Romans nonetheless developed highly efficient marine technologies and successfully opposed the almighty Carthaginian fleet, whose stature stemmed from the old Phoenician traditions.
     119   * '''History:''' By the time of the Second Punic War the Romans had adopted an improved bireme design created by the Liburnians of Illyria. Faster, lighter, and more agile then conventional warships, the Liburna would quickly become widespread throughout the Roman navy. They appear to have been used in support of Triremes.

    127    * '''History:''' The Trireme was the most common warship of the Mediterranean – it was used by Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians and Romans alike. In order to compensate for inferior manoeuvring abilities during the First Punic War, the Romans developed the corvus, a bridge that enabled them to fight as if on land.
     128   * '''History:''' The Trireme was the most common warship of the Mediterranean – it was used by Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians and Romans alike. The Romans were already using these vessels by the beginning of the Punic Wars, and underwent a number of modifications. These remain controversial, but it seems that Triremes remained the mainstay of the fleet for this era.

     137   * '''History:''' The Quinquereme was the battleship of the Roman navy during 0 AD's period. They were adopted after a Carthaginian Quinquereme washed up on Roman shores during the First Punic War, allowing them to copy the design (albeit a bit heavier). The Romans introduced a number of modifications, but the most famous was the harpax, a kind of harpoon that replaced the corvus by the time of the Second Punic War.
