Colloquia Pontica 2

The naval history of the Lower Danube and the Black Sea in Roman and Byzantine times is here brought to light in a series of essays that look at the historical and archaeological evidence for the fleet and its role as a frontier force; the structure of the fleet; the types of ships; the ports and harbours; the activity and use of the fleet during the first to sixth centuries AD; and the epigraphic evidence for it. The text is in French throughout.
