Buchbeschreibung

Domitia by Sabine Baring-Gould is the story of a beautiful lady Longa Duilia who commandeers an infamous ship. Excerpt: "Flashes as of lightning shot from each side of a galley as she was being rowed into port. She was a bireme, that is to say, had two tiers of oars; and as simultaneously the double sets were lifted, held for a moment suspended, wet with brine, feathered, and again dipped, every single blade gleamed, reflecting the declining western sun, and together formed a flash from each side of the vessel of a sheaf of rays. The bireme was approaching the entrance to the harbor of Cenchræa."
