The Lateen Sail - A Greco-Roman Invention
#25
Here is a drawing of a mid 9th century dromon with a Lateen sail, don't know if there are older depictions of that ship type, I mean closer to Ancient times, but you see here that there still some elements from Ancient warhips (plough-like bow desgin etc.)
