Rigged model, scale 1:60, of a Roman merchant ship (151-250 AD), with sails, swan stern ornament and one figure, in glazed case (see Note), by Alfred Charles Jackson, High Salvington, Worthing, West Sussex, England, 1934-1935. This model was based on a drawing of a Roman sailing ship of the 2nd century AD, prepared in the Science Museum by the use of contemporary reliefs, two from the mouth of the Tiber and two from the Syrian Coast. Ships such as this brought corn to Rome from the coast of Egypt and the Levant.
