less time spent in the ocean

ships took alot of work and were mainly done for defense not exploration

but it's insurance, to make it tougher so that it has a better chance of surviving the voyage

@What Would Jack Conte Do? the tougher a ship is the worse the ship is

for practiocal reasons

why you may ask?

tough ships are slow

send too many ships away and risk invasion

heavier = slower

ships ar emade to move cargo and men

by tough, i meant seaworthy or survivable

why woud you want a slow ship?

build too many ships and start a war

especially when the meditteranean sea is very calm

yes, that's why the atlantic was avoided for thousands of years

ships ARE ... but back then they weren't

roman roads are narrow as fuck, fam

I hate that a perfect meme is ruined by 'cooncil'

i have spent MANY, MANY weeks at sea

right - also roman aqueduct water wasn't as pure as modern water

Tasty tasty lead

people think romans were perfect lol, no they were relatively advanced - it's all relative

'relatively' i s true; compared to the savages

The modern legal systems are based off Justinian's codex

isn't that continental law

english common law is different

napoleonic code is the connection isn't it

Yeah English is different

could be wrong
