An appreciation of the ships and boats of the Greek and Roman Mediterranean is at the heart of any developed understanding of the ancient Mediterranean World. This chapter sets out the main sources of evidence for studying such maritime elements, introducing and outlining the basic shipbuilding techniques and describing the main trends in construction over time. The primary sailing rigs in use in the ancient Mediterranean are also presented, along with commentary on their technological development and potential performance.
