Virtual reconstruction of a “horeia” type Roman boat (Duval, 1949; Carlson, 2002), characterized by the flat shape of one of its ends.
This type of boat appears represented in contexts of fishing and amphorae transport in iconography, so we can assume that its use was multiple and versatile. According to Bovolin (2017) we must understand that in these small boats the rounded end is the bow while the flat end would be the stern.
This type of boat can probably be used in Roman Mediterranean contexts somewhat earlier and somewhat later than the proposed chronology.
