The idea of this weblog is, as mentioned more than once, to learn more about roman transportation, especially wagons and transportation on land.
But ancient transportation also includes ships and seafaring, which is why posts on this material now will be introduced on this blog. The water-transportation material is parallel to the wagon material, and the different groups of archaeological evidence (original parts and iconography) are the same as in the case of the wagons (in my opinion, anyway). Therefore, I think, the ship-research, which, in many cases, is more discussed than the research on wagons, can be useful in the methodical part of research on roman transportation in general.
Any progress in this “new” topic will be noted on this page and categorized under “Water Transport”.
