Hallo!
I'm new on this forum, so I'm not sure if there are any topics like this one. Althought I have been searching for them, however with poor results. :roll: I'm very intersted in some precise information abuot the Roman fleet, especially on the Danube Limes. So if you have got any links or books that could help me I would be very greatful. What is more here are some terms I have problems with:
naves amnicae
musculi scythica
plateypegia
lembi
naves lusoriae
dromones
I would be thankful for their explanation.
Thanks in advance.

Antek,
currently the best thing around on the Danube Fleets is Bounegru & Zahariade (1996) "Les Forces Navales du Bas Danube et de la Mer Noire aux Ier - VIe siecles"...ISBN 1 90018817 1
- but if you wait for a bit... I believe with a bit of luck there'll be three new books on the Roman Fleets by certain members of this Forum coming out in 2007... :wink:

Antek,
Welcome to RAT.
Try typing 'Julian AND Alamanni' into the search function. That should bring up any topics where both words have been mentioned, although not necessarily together.

For the navis lusoria you can find more information under www.vefag.de (operational reconstruction)
You could also try to get a copy of
ARICESCU, A., 1980, The Army in Roman Dobrudja (= BAR int. Ser. 86), Oxford.
and
FERKEL, H., KONEN, H. and Ch. SCHÄFER, (Eds.), 2004, Navis Lusoria. Ein Römerschiff in Regensburg, St. Katharinen.
(includes an article about naves lusoriae by H.C. Konen, and a short [and not too detailed] article about the late Roman fleets on the Danube by a certain F.W. Himmler)
:wink:
Otherwise the references mentioned by Susanna and L. Aufidius Pantera (greetings to you, Christoph!) are very useful - especially the 1986 article by O. Höckmann.
