All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and the Steam Engine, what have the Romans ever done for us?

This is a full on inspiration build from Nonobars most excellent idea of a Steam Roman ship on Whatif Modeller
https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=35382.555

I had parts of a Roman Galley left over from another build where I built this IceRigger

But as a point of difference, I wanted to go side paddlewheeler and show a bit more of the engine gubbins



using some of the very early vertical boiler types as a rough guide, but going for impression only.
So early days, but enthusiasm is high.

Thanks Nonobars for the terrific inspiration  :thumbsup:

Significant technology update for Roman navy.   Like the concept....  :smiley:

Excellent Quod-si, Vapor Romana nave! This must be the 30BC version, since that's when the Romans introduced the twin ship boiler engines.

GTX_Admin:
Loving this idea. :smiley:

Et tu, Bwian!? ;D
