Greetings,
self introduction apart, this is my first message, so be lenient, please.
Now, I'm reading some stuff concerning roman control of central Germany , till the Elbe, before 9AD.
First, is there any evidence of roman navy units patrolling rivers like Lippe, Elms etc.?
Also, I presume the main ships' class used were liburnae, but, is there any chance were employed larger vessels too?
More or less connected with this subject, I was wondering if there is any good book, lavishly illustrated, possibly,
mile: concerning also this kind of light ships.
Pitassi's "Roman warships" seems interesting, but since it quite expensive too, I'd like to Know somebody else opinion.
Thanks in advance.
Roberto
