ISBN10: 0691014779, ISBN13: 9780691014777, [publisher: Princeton University Press] Softcover nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Written by the renowned authority on ancient ships and seafaring Lionel Casson, The Ancient Mariners has long served the needs of all who are interested in the sea, from the casual reader to the professional historian. This completely revised edition takes into account the fresh information that has appeared since the book was first published in 1959, especially that from archaeology's newest branch, marine archaeology. Casson does what no other author has done: he has put in a single volume the story of all that the ancients accomplished on the sea from the earliest times to the end of the Roman Empire. He explains how they perfected trading vessels from mere rowboats into huge freighters that could carry over a thousand tons, how they transformed warships from simple oared transports into complex rowing machines holding hundreds of marines and even heavy artillery, and how their maritime commerce progressed from short cautious voyages to a network that reached from Spain to India.

There is faint browning of the inside edges of the front and back cover. On the back cover there appears to be a stain, two inches long, one half inch wide, at the upper outer edge. Not sure if stained from damp or sun but it does not affect inner pages.See photos. From rowboats to freighters, from short voyages to the routes of the ships traveling from Spain to India, the author takes the reader on a seafaring journey from the earliest floating craft to the ships of the Roman Empire.Clear and crisp black and white images of artifacts, shipwreck remains and recreations of what the water craft probably looked like.

In the process he corrects cherished but erroneous beliefs. Ancient warships, he shows, were never manned with slave rowers; ancient merchantmen did not stick timidly to the shore; and ancient craft were well able to sail against the wind.
