English: This Phoenician warship was depicted by Assyrians in their palace of Niniveh. It is a bireme (dieris/Greek διήρης), with two levels of oars. Shields are fastened around the superstructure, as on the fortifications of some city walls. The pointed bow is either a ram, for holding enemy ships, or a form of cutwater. WA 124772 British Museum.
