But warfare at sea, which played a vital role in the First and Second Punic Wars, rarely receives the attention it deserves. And it is the monumental clashes of the Carthaginian and Roman fleets in the Mediterranean that are the focus of Christa Steinby's absorbing study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe exploits new evidence, including the latest archaeological discoveries, and she looks afresh at the ancient sources and quotes extensively from them. In particular she shows how the Romans' seafaring tradition and their skill, determination and resourcefulness eventually gave them a decisive advantage. In doing so, she overturns the myths and misunderstandings that have tend to distort our understanding of Roman naval warfare.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christa Steinby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399078623\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399078627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pen \u0026amp; Sword Military\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Christa Steinby","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46685817766143,"sku":"9781399078627","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bef4a04e-d652-49e1-9716-36b0dfed874c.jpg?v=1741726861","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rome-versus-carthage-christa-steinby-9781399078627","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
