The navy of ancient Carthage was a powerful force that ancient Rome had to contend with in the Punic War period. One of the mainstays of Carthage's navy was the warship called the triremes. Generally speaking this was a fast and powerful vessel having 300 rowers which powered it across the Mediterranean seas. The ship was manned with 150 soldiers. At any given time during the first two Punic Wars, Carthage had over 350 of them.
