I've been trying to find out without much success how merchandise was transported from the Mediterranean to Britain.<br>
I was wondering if ships sailing all around Hispania and up the Atlantic coast as it appears to be a very long, tedious, and possibly difficult route for ships with primitive rigging. Looking at a map it seems it would be much easier to ship goods to ports in Gaul and move them overland from there.<br>
I have also been searching the web in vain for diagrams of Roman merchant ships which show details of the inner layout i.e section drawings.<br>
Any imfo and directions to links would be appreciated.<br>
Thanks<br>
