#ReliefWednesday!
A Roman marble relief of a warship. Found in the necropolis of Praeneste (Latium), late 1st century BC.
The relief presumably belonged to the tomb of a Roman veteran who had served on Octavian’s side at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC.

Roman merchant vessel and oared warship on the Danube, from Trajan's Column in Rome (113 AD), which commemorated his Dacian Wars. The detail is incredible: regarding #maritimehistory interestingly, I don't recall seeing any vessels in this riverine campaign being shown with sails. #ReliefWednesday
