Vendor code: 8514
Scale1:72
Triera is the main type of a battle ship of the Mediterranean period of the Greek-Persian
wars (V-IV centuries BC). The main weapon of the triera was a copper bind ram, the
extension of the keel beam. The speed of the ship on oars was up to 18 km/h. The triera
had a big square sail and a small sail on the inclined mast in the bow part. The masts
were removable. In the course of a battle the triera accelerated and thus could break
oars of an enemy ship stopping it. Than it used its ram. The crew of the ship had more
than 200 men including oarsmen, sailors and heavily armored hoplites.
