Pentécontère
The pentécontère (Greek old: πεντηκοντήρ) is a Bateau of war with 50 oarsmen (from where his name), for which it is necessary to add a cox and perhaps other sailors.
It was approximately 35 meters long, for 5 meters broad.
It is at the time of the “Trojan War” that the first pentécontères appear or pentecontores is around.
This type of ship will disappear with the development from the Trière, which is essential starting from the Life front century J. - C.
