The world`s first war machines were ships built two millennia before the dawn of the Classical world. Their influence on the course of history cannot be overstated. A wide variety of galleys and other types of warships were built by successive civilizations, each with their own distinctive appearance, capability, and utility. The subject has been intensively studied for two and a half millennia, culminating in the contemporary works of authoritative scholars such as Morrison, Wallinga, Rodgers, and Casson. To date there are no works covering the subject which are accessible and available to non-academics.
