     Roman warships were fearsome weapons and a major factor in the expansion
of the Roman Empire. The ships were powered by sails and oars, and armed with
the spears and swords of the soldiers on board. Protection was provided by
many removable shields along the sides of the craft. A unique "proboscus" on
the front of the ship was a reinforced ram often used to spear enemy ships.
In the event an enemy ship remained skewered to the Roman ship, the soldiers
would leap aboard and engage in hand-to-hand combat.
