 ROMAN SHIPSHEDS

David Blackman

covered slipways or "shipsheds" housing warships were the most distinctive feature of
the military harbors of the Mediterranean in the Classical and Hellenistic periods, and many
remains of them have now been identified and investigated. Warships were kept out of the water
when not in use, to avoid rot and the ship worm, and protected from sun and rain by the roofs of
the shipsheds that lined the harbor basins. The monumental "arsenali" of the great maritime cities
of the medieval period, with their vaulted sheds, continue the same tradition. There is still, however
a "missing link": we have no certain remains of the shipsheds, or navalia, of the Roman period.
There is in my view no doubt that shipsheds were used in the Roman period: the pictorial
evidence seems to me clear. Coins depicting entire harbors show colonnades that admittedly may
simply be quayside colonnades or arched moles, rather than roofed slipways: for example, the
coin of Gallienus showing the harbor of Side as a perfect circle, when in fact the main harbor was
triangular (more or less); the arcade probably represents porticos rather than slipway entrances. A
coin of Antoninus Pius shows the harbor of Cenchreae with a statue and three ships and a quay-
side colonnade. But Lehmann-Hartleben thought that the Neronian sestertii of Portus portrayed
shipsheds rather than arched moles, and we must not forget Appian's description of the shipsheds
at Carthage in 146 B.C.: "In front of every shipshed stood two Ionic columns, so that both harbor
and island appeared to be lined with a colonnade" (Pun. 96). 1
Furthermore, there is no doubt about the coins showing a detail on a larger scale - clearly of
roofed slipways: notably the denarius of Palikanus, a mint official in 47 B.C. (fig. 1), which shows
three ships' prows peeping out of arched buildings, clearly warships in shipsheds, with a "bisellium"
above whose interpretation I leave to others. Coarelli convincingly refuted the previous theory tha
the coin depicted the rostra of the time of Caesar. We clearly have here a depiction of the navalia
of the city of Rome, destroyed in 44 B.C. and apparently not rebuilt. We may compare the asses of
Ancus Marcius Censorinus, clearly of a warship, which in Bartoccini's view depicted the navalia
of Ostia.2
There are a number of similar scenes in a larger context in mosaics and wall paintings. A strik-
ing example is the arcaded border of a mosaic from a Roman villa in Gaul at Grange-du-Bief . Guey
dates the mosaic to the early second century A.D., but Redde thinks that it may be earlier.
A late Republican mosaic now in the Vatican, but found in the Via Ardeatina, gives a clear idea
of the roofing - a double-pitched roof over each shed. A mosaic from Lanuvium, now in the church

Rhodes).
Looking back from the Roman vantage point, there are obvious considerations to be borne
in mind: how many Greek dockyards were available for use by Roman ships, and how many were
actually used?
Piraeus we have mentioned: probably a "relay station" for Roman fleets, as Redde argues (above
n. 16). Pausanias in the second century a.d. reflects (1.1) what must have been the result of repairs
to the shipsheds, while Strabo (9.1.15) reflects an earlier period of decline, after the Sullan destruc-
tion of 86 B.C. He burnt the shipsheds and the naval arsenal (App. Mith. 41). There may prove to
be archaeological indications of a Roman phase of shipsheds.
Corinth was important in the Roman period, but apparently not for the Roman navy.18
Cenchreae, its eastern harbor, was a flourishing commercial port, but no traces of shipsheds
have been located, from either the Roman or earlier periods. Shipsheds at Lechaion, its western
harbor, are attested in historical sources for the Classical period (Xen. Hell. 4.4.12 for 392 B.C.),
but no remains have been found from that or later periods.
Rhodes remained a major port and, as ally of Rome, still had warships in the early Imperial
period; the remains of the military harbor studied by us have phases rather of the fourth/third and
second centuries B.C.: I wonder whether the later phase could still have served the Rhodian triemioliai
of the classis Rhodia in the Augustan to Flavian period. The recently excavated harborworks of the
Roman period belong to the commercial harbor.19
At Alimnia, a small island port off the west coast of Rhodes, we have a collection of twenty-
one rock-cut shipsheds on two bays, both with fine natural protection (figs. 7-8). The shipsheds in
Emporio are mostly rather wide: 8.50-9 m or 9.50-10+ m, and one is very wide (18.20 m), clearly
for a double or triple shed. The dry lengths are only 14-18 m; they continue into the water but
break off after about 5 m. The gradient appears to be ca. 1:7. This gradient seems very steep for
large ships such as triremes and larger, but Oeniadae has 1:6 (fig. 9). Were these double shipsheds
for two ships of ca. 4 m beam and 20 m length? Coates suggests that they were for pentecontors or
hemioliai. These would be appropriate for the purpose that I suggest.
Dating rock-cut slipways is very difficult. I have suggested that these slipways were for an out-
station of the Rhodian fleet in the Hellenistic period, providing an early warning system against
pirates. But evidence from the seabed included pottery of many later periods (not yet fully stud-
ied) - this port was on the main trade route from, for instance, Egypt to Constantinople; we have
not yet excavated any of the slipways (which should give us an idea of date of use, if not so clearly
of date of construction).20
