Roman Frumentariae, or Grain Ship. Large vessels, up to 180ft or more in length, used for transporting corn from Alexandria to Rome. In times of war they were also used to transport legions to areas of conflict. They would have been principally powered by sails and so our model has no protruding oars. The kit contains sails and masts. The hull is normally produced in resin, but for the time being (Oct 2026) may be produced in metal until resin production ramps up.
