Book Synopsis
With contributions from scholars from around the world, this volume builds upon the American Academy in Rome's first volume on Rome's maritime life, ""The Seaborne Commerce of Ancient Rome: Studies in Archaeology and History"".

Trade Review
From papers on warship slipways to prostitutes, and from piracy to hydraulic concrete, this volume will be a required source for researchers dealing with maritime life in Roman times. As with all good scholarship, the combined gravitas of the contributions here push research forward by discussing new field work, reviewing critically previous conclusions, studying evidence in new patterns and experimental archaeology. - Shelley Wachsmann, Meadows Professor of Biblical Archaeology, Nautical Archaeology Program, Texas A&M University
