(sorry, have to post this in two parts - computer gave me a kick)<br>
<br>
Konen's book is in German, but he wrote it in a plain and uncomplicated stile. Furthermore, it includes also a lot of information on other Roman fleets and their backgrounds. Since I'm in the process of writing something longer about the Danube fleets, I find Konen's book very helpful.<br>
<br>
If anybody is looking for more information on Roman shipping on Rhine and Danube, try to find essays from Olaf Höckmann. Not without some historical errors, but he is a real expert on shipwrecks.<br>
<br>
The reconstruction of a Mainz Type A patrol boat at the RGZM (Römisch Germanisches Zentralmuseum) is based largely on his research.<br>
