It is not clear when the Romans begun to build ships. Rome was involved in sea trade with the Etruscans and Greeks 7th century BC, but it is not known whether Roman ships were involved in this trade. In 338 BC Gaius Maenius commanded Roman naval forces on the river Astura in the battle of Antium during the Latin war. Presumably the Romans built these ships. In 311 BC Rome created two officials to command a fleet of 20 ships. Again they presumably built their ships. It is thought that they were primarily concerned with patrolling the coast to protect it from pirates. The first proper military naval force was built in 261 BC during the first Punic War which was fought between Rome and Carthage over the control of Sicily. They built 100 quinqueremes and 20 triremes. Ancient historian Polybus said that the Romans used a Carthaginian shipwreck as a model for their ships. Some modern historians think that the Greeks may have assisted the romans in the design of their ships. Syracuse, a Greek city in Sicily, became a Roman ally in this war. The lower naval officers were Greek allies.
