The Romans made their ship just a bit better by adding a corvus . The corvus was a drawbridge type structure that enabled the Romans to march aboard a Carthaginian ship and battle man to man. This put the Romans' strong army to good use and gave the Romans an edge, which allowed them to win the first Punic War.
