VIRTUAL OPEN LECTURE: THE NAVAL BATTLE OF SALAMIS
In this lecture Dr Zisis Fotakis will explore the naval battle of Salamis which is one of the largest military confrontations in antiquity having a modern demographic equivalent of well over 20 million souls. It is also the bloodiest naval battle of antiquity, recording many more human losses than most sea battles of the 20th century as a result of the speed and manoeuverability of the trireme, which depended on the physicality of its rowers, who in turn constituted an easy and obvious target for the enemy.
