Lighthouses were a great help for Roman shipping or any other Mediterranean shipping for that matter. As storms would frequently occur, the lighthouses gave sailors a direction as to where a port was located. In calm weather, the lighthouses acted as a nautical roadmap, as every experienced captain knew where they were located, and how far away from his destination they would be.

Not all lighthouses are striped but all lighthouses need to be visible during the daytime, as well as at night. The stripes on some lighthouses increase their visibility.
