Liburnian Skirmisher - Mercenary Roman Skirmisher Marines
Skirmish tactics require light, swift ships, like this liburnian.Fighting effectively at sea takes skill, courage, and sea-legs in abundance.
Liburnians were small, compact galleys, ideal for patrolling the Roman coastlines. They were named after an Illyrian tribe who used similar vessels during their raids against the Romans. During the 3rd century AD the Roman Empire came under continued attack from increasingly stronger barbarian forces from the north and east. In the north, the Picts and the Scots raided Britain, the Saxons plundered from the north and in the east, the Goths appeared in ever-more-vast numbers from the Black Sea region, due to pressure from nomadic tribes from the Steppes. By AD477 the Vandals had all but wiped out the Roman navy to take complete control of the Mediterranean, after which time the western sea was known as Wendelsae, or ‘Sea of the Vandals'.
(Mercenary Roman Skirmisher Marines)
Naval warfare in the ancient world was just another way for infantry to fight one another. The earliest documented naval battles are those of ancient China, 'grapple and hook' battles where boarding operations and close-quarters combat decided the victor. During the Second Punic War, Rome famously broke Carthage's mastery of the waves by creating the 'corvus' - a bridge that allowed its soldiers to board and fight. The distinction, then, in antiquity, between fighting on land and at sea was small, yet chiefly a matter of 'sea legs' - maintaining balance whilst toppling your opponent.
