Roman Trireme
I originally wanted to make a ship for my collection of Game of Thrones minifigs, but I ended up making a historical Roman ship instead. This MOC is a recreation of a trireme used by the Roman republic in the first Punic war (264 - 241 BC). The trireme is a heavy warship used by the ancient Mediterranean civilizations. It has three rows of rowers (this is the meaning of “trireme”), and it has a bronze ram for ramming into enemy ships. The Romans added a bridge (corvus) to the ship, which they dropped onto and boarded enemy ships.
