Schreiber-Bogen - Greek Bireme
Product number:
3891
A bireme is a warship from antiquity and was one of the first longships used for sea travel.
For these ships, the requirements for seaworthiness and stability were particularly high. The term "bireme" comes from Latin and means that the oars on both sides of the ship were arranged in two rows, one above the other. The bireme is therefore also called a "two-man", "two-row" or "diere" after the original Greek name. Such ships are also commonly regarded as "galleys". But galleys did not exist until around 1000 AD, and the notorious galley prisoners would have had no business on an ancient bireme.
Tip: See the detailed text on the "Roman watchtower" in the appendix as a pdf.
