Siege Quinquereme



Perhaps the most famous of the Hellenistic-era warships¸ because of its extensive use by the Carthaginians and Romans¸ the quinquereme (Latin: quinqueremis ; Greek: pe?t???? ¸ penteres ) was invented by the tyrant of Syracuse¸ Dionysius I (r. 405‐367 BC) in 399 BC¸ as part of a major naval armament program directed against the Carthaginians. [ During most of the 4th century¸ the "fives" were the heaviest type of warship¸ and often used as flagships of fleets composed of triremes and quadriremes. [36] Sidon had them by 351¸ and Athens fielded some in 324. " From wikipedia Siege Quinquereme¸ a new 1/600 model for your ancient wargame naval table. Also buy Ancient Navy HERE !
