Imperium Maris (Empire of the Seas) contains any single known information about the Roman Navy, from the Republic to the Enpire within it's 688 pages. It relates the tactics and techniques developed from the Bronze Age to the Late mature and settled art of naval battles of of the 9th century AD. There's a wealth of information naver seen again in one single volume. Why did they use navy blue to dress? (sacred colour of Neptune) Why did they brake a jar of wine when they christened their ships? (as an offering to the gods of the sea), materials, winds, topography they had to deal with, tactics, where were the construction sites, how did they train, who participated, who was in charge, what was the command structure, how much were they paid, how were they clothed, what did they do with the dead, could they marry, could they cook, what were they eating, pirates, naval battles or the rise and decline of the Roman navy and so on and so fotrth. Any question you might ask, if it is known, it's answered.
The only bad thing, currently, it can be found only in Spanish.
