Although it is a slow process, I am putting together Roman Seas ships in 10mm scale. I have to re-test all ships that I am up scaling to ensure they work...
Me to! ;-) Rob ... From: roman_seas@yahoogroups.com [mailto:roman_seas@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Armchairadm@... Sent: Sunday, September 17, 2006 7:45...
Agreed. I sincerely hope that the upscaling of the buildings won't mean that the 6mm buiildings will no longer be available - ancient buildings are hard enough...
... 6mm buildings will always be available and will be expanded. I painted up just over 1800 6mm figures earlier this year for my Roman Seas games -- I don't...
I have few questions: 1. Does anyone know if there have been bigger vessels found during the Roman period? Does anyone have photos from the ships (barges)...
None bigger than those you mention that i know of. There is/was a good site on the web about Nemi and the ships/barges, but my old hard drive is locked-up and...
The largest ship, other than Caligula's ships, that I have read about is a 270 foot Roman grain ship wreck that was discovered somewhere in the Mediterranean....
Isn't there speculation that the nemi ships were once greek ships that had previously been captured by the Romans??? Chris ... about ... in ... meant ... good ...
Eric - They did actually move. One of them, the "temple ship" (or 'Party Barge', as I like to call it) was probably towed by the smaller vessel. -Alex ... ...
If they were Greek ships, they were extensively rebuilt by Caligula, and they would have been quite old by that point, at any rate. I think it more likely that...
Isn't Nemi a lake? They would have had to take the greek ships apart and reassemble? I have never heard of the Greek ship theory..........Thanks Joe ... ...
Eric, I do not think they were meant to move much being in a lake. There is a recostruction project going on right now. The mechanisms on the ship were...
I think, but am by no means sure, that the greek ships may have been partially taken apart and moved to the lake by a river or canal perhaps, and then...
Chris - Have never heard this from any other source. I am led to believe they were original constructs. Could you be thinking of the Greek warships taken apart...
... What distances are we talking about here? I can certainly see the Romans having the resources to move objects over great distances, especially as war...
No, I think the theory that I read was that the barges at Nemi were some super giant Greek ships taken in some previous war and reconstructed. Perhaps they...
If they were Greek or more probably partially Greek ships, then they would have had to first have been sailed to Ostia, and then up the Tiber to Rome or as far...
Any word or ETA when the fortification sets might be released? The screen shoots of the 1st set look great and I can't wait to get it. Also, what's in sets 2...
I will look into it, but the ships seem pure Roman. The fixtures, mosaics, lead pipes to heat a bath and other mechanisms are all Roman. The structure of the...
My point in all this remains that, by Caligulas time, any Greek ships captured would have been more than one hundred years or more old. Why on earth would they...
Found nothing on the web to any Greek ship references, but some web references allude that these two ships had possibly been used as ceremonial ships in the...
Yes, that may be what I was thinking of. They may have been Ptolemaic ships. It was simply a theory I read about the origins of the ships, and I thought I...
