| dc.description.abstract | The discovery of several naval rams from sites around the Mediterranean has given scholars a brief glimpse of one of the most widely used naval weapons of the ancient world. Examining these physical examples provides information that is unavailable from literary and iconographic sources. Personal observation of two examples has allowed for more detailed descriptions and comparisons than were previously available. It is commonly believed that five rams now exist, yet only two are without a doubt functional rams..-The remaining three pieces are questionable in this regard on constructional grounds. Cuffent information shows that naval rams, both primary and secondary, went through several developmental stages in terms of both style and function throughout a millennium of use. | en |
