Taking a fresh look at the various ways in which seasonality affected maritime transport across the sea-lanes of the ancient world, this book offers new perspectives on the nature of seaborne trade, naval warfare and piratical operations. The result is a volume that questions many long-held scholarly assumptions concerning the strength and seaworthiness of ancient vessels, as well as the abilities of Greek and Roman mariners, to regularly undertake voyages across hazardous stretches of sea.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47891052429463,"sku":"9789004223523","price":23834.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004223523.webp?v=1781182194","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-ancient-sailing-season-9789004223523","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
