What was an ancient Roman warship called?
The basic ancient warships could be called either a monoreme, a bireme, or a trireme. This was determined by the levels of oars---maybe. The history of the ancient ships is clouded as there is very little written material about them and even less accurate depictions. Historians wrangle about whether the numerical prefex,(bi, tri,quad, quinc) refer to the levels of oars or to the number of rowers on each oar.
