Discover the unsung heroes of the Roman Empire: the navis oneraria, or massive grain ships!

Learn why emperors personally oversaw these vital fleets and how their immense logistical capacity, relying on huge square sails across the Mediterranean, maintained political stability for centuries. They may have lacked the glamour of warships, but these ships were the true foundation of the Roman world!
