EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, a beautiful copperplate engraving by Pietro Ruga after an illustration by Lorenzo Rocceggiani, showcases two distinctive watercrafts from ancient Roman times. The central focus is a Roman war bireme, a powerful two-banked galley with two decks of oarsmen. The bireme's sleek design, complete with a rudder at the stern, was a crucial component of the Roman navy, enabling swift and effective maneuverability on the water. Adjacent to the warship is a transport boat, laden with military supplies. The boat's flat bottom and single bank of oars suggest a utilitarian design, perfect for carrying essential provisions, such as foodstuffs, to support the Roman military forces. The illustration originated from Rocceggiani's 100 Plates of Costumes Religious, Civil and Military of the Ancient Egyptians, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans, published in Rome in 1802. This intriguing depiction offers a glimpse into the logistical aspects of ancient Roman warfare, with the war bireme representing the might and power of the Roman fleet, and the transport boat symbolizing the crucial role of supply vessels in sustaining the military machine. The meticulous detail in Ruga's engraving highlights the craftsmanship and historical accuracy of this image, making it an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of ancient history.
