The Trireme implemented a metal band around the hull and below the water line to stop the ramming tips of enemy ships. This band was made out of lead, a common metal in the ancient world because of its ease of use and availability. The Trireme also used a metal point, or ram on the front on the ship. It would try to sail (and row) full speed into preferably the side of an enemy ship and sink them.
