The word "corvus" means raven or crow. The Romans taught the ravens to talk, as in the story where Augustus bought a raven whose owner had taught it to say "Hail, Augustus, the victor". However in popular slang it had a more sinister connotation pertaining to crucifixion. The term "in cruce corvos pascere" meant to be crucified, or "corrorum cibaria" which meant food for the crows.

How were the. Romans able to overcome the navy of Carthage?
The Romans established a navy with the new tactics of boarding rather than ramming, and so captured Phoenician ships in battle. The corvus (raven beak) boarding plank had a spike which both locked the ships together and allowed the Roman infantry to board and capture. This was adopted because the Romans, who did not have a navy to speak of at the beginning of the First Punic War, built a fleet from scratch. The Roman sailors did not have enough experience to perform the complicated manoeuvre required to ram the enemy ships. The corvus made up for this and brought success in battle. However, it had the drawback of making the ships top heavy. Many ships sank in storms and the Romans lost thousands of lives. The corvus was dropped in the last battle of the war and the Roman fleet won. The Roman navy had come of age. The corvus was never used again. The Roman navy improved so much that in the Second Punic War, the Roman navy was superior to the Carthaginian one even without the corvus.
