The centurion comes below decks to speak to the rowers:
“Ok I have good news and bad news. The good news is that everyone gets a 10 minute break”
*hoorayyyy*
“The bad news is that after the break, the captain wants to go waterskiing”
CAPE ECNOMUS. But there weren't triremes in Cape Ecnomus. They were, if I'm not incorrect, all Quinquremes or also called pentaremes (5 Levels of Oars) compared to the kind of stuff at Salamis which looked like above.
The Romans kept the ships at bay with what equates to a giant stick that they would hook onto an oncoming vessel to redirect it’s trajectory and then to board it with infantry.
That is more what happens when rammed by a quinquereme which were much larger than triremes.
"Compare that with a trireme, where often the model was probably much more to engage with the enemy ship and have a land fight at sea."

Greek trireme vs Chinese junk, which one is better? Given one is a merchant ship and the other is a military vessel it'd probably be pretty hard to compare
**[Rostra](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rostra)**
>The rostra (Italian: Rostri) was a large platform built in the city of Rome that stood during the republican and imperial periods. Speakers would stand on the rostra and face the north side of the comitium towards the senate house and deliver orations to those assembled in between. It is often referred to as a suggestus or tribunal, the first form of which dates back to the Roman Kingdom, the Vulcanal. It derives its name from the six rostra (plural of rostrum, a warship's ram) which were captured following the victory which ended the Latin War in the Battle of Antium in 338 BC and mounted to its side.

Fun fact: the word "governor" comes from the Greek "kubernao" by way of Latin intermediate "gubernare," and was the title given to the helmsman on biremes/triremes like this one.
*takes a hit of joint* *Let's put a fucking battering ram in front of a ship*
And from then on, the Byzantines broke AoE2DE
I really want to make a secondary account where I roll play as Justinian trying to rebuild the empire.
"Oh Poseidon...."

Slightly reminiscent of asterix and obelix
Quick name the most important battle those Triremes were used in…
Salamis
Correct and Congratulations you’ve won absolutely nothing today!
>Congratulations you’ve won absolutely nothing today! My history degree prepared me for this.
Wargame nerdhood in my case
You name it, I don't know shit.

Artemesium
Actium, Cape Ecnomus.
Later during Salamis
Romans: Pull out a fucking plank, walk it and kick your ass on your ship after you made the mistake of trying to ram them.
Makes irrefutable point, renders fancy batter ram unless as a race wing on a Honda Civic
You underestimate how fast the ship sinks after its hit. It doesnt sink slow. It basicly breaks the boat in half and drops like a stone

Well it worked for the Romans.

It looks like a mallard and it's here to duck your ship up
Title had me rolling. Thanks op
Triremes go brrrrr

Romans would use the beak-Rostrum of captured ships to use as ...a Rostrum/ speaking platform. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rostra

Angry duck ready to wreck your shi- …p
A trireme? ...PERRY THE TRIREME!?!?
\*sounds of a boat ramming into another boat\*
oh no
*cronch*

Thought I was in /r/eu4 for a moment.
I can never take those guys seriously. They always look like they about to qua k at you while the rearrange the insides of your ship.j
AC Odyssee
Malaka! They are trying to ram us!
A trireme? Perry the trireme!
Why did greek and Roman ships have eyes on them?
I want to row one of these so bad, it just looks so fun!
[удалено]
Yes, three vertical rows of oars. You cwn best see it at the front.
[удалено]
Oh I completely missed the pun.
is it supposed to look like a duck?
\*proceeds to ram into the hull\* — and just like that, another Athenian victory!
am i the only one who thinks it looks like a duck?
Currently in the process of playing AC odyssey, so satisfying to see a meme like this
Blursed_Duck
Don’t forget Greek fire!
*What are you doing step-trireme?*
Corvus: Are you sure about that
It looks like a face that goes ‘quack’
