Quote:BTW, Has somebody any graphic document of these ships?
Nemi ships were initially documented by Guido Uccelli (Le navi di Nemi, 1950). A reference list could be found here. There were some very good pictures in Deborah Carlson's article in Archaeology 03/2002 (Caligula’s Floating Palaces). Uccelli's schematic drawings were reproduced in Viereck, H. D. L.: Die Römische Flotte. Herford 1975. I can scan those for you if you want.
Also, there is an ongoing project to build a replica vessel (Diana Nemorensis, but it seems to have been dormant since 2002.
