Trireme

A trireme was an ancient Greek warship used around 500-300 BCE, known for its speed and agility. It had a sleek wooden hull and was powered primarily by rows of oarsmen arranged in three tiers (hence "tri-rere"), allowing it to move quickly and maneuver effectively during battles. The ship also featured a bronze battering ram at the front to damage enemy vessels. Triremes played a crucial role in naval warfare and were central to Greece's maritime dominance, showcasing advanced engineering and strategic design for their time.
