Description
Some believe that because there were no great naval battles between Actium in 31 BC and the Fall of the Western Empire some five centuries later, there is no naval history worth noting in that time span. The Mediterranean was a Roman lake ("Our Sea" they called it) so nothing happened to interest a maritime historian. Naval theorists Alfred Mahan and Julian Corbett would say differently. The record of this period is one that should engage those interested in the true meaning of "sea power". This book is a strategical overview of that epoch from the standpoint of mastery of the maritime routes.
