Quote:Then have a go for the German Fleet at Konen (2000) "Classis Germanica" - ISBN 3895901067 or Viereck (1996) "Die roemische Flotte" - ISBN 3930656337.

Do these authors also mention the use of stern-mounted rudders by the Roman Rhine and Danube flotillas? There have been now some Roman stone reliefs excavated along the Rhine, depicting such rudders.

I wonder why these rudders are called in English rather steering oars. Any idea?
