#ClassicsTober Day 7: Ship

October 7, 2021
Pencil sketch of the ship monument at Nikopolis, now and then (when it had the rams from the fronts of ships attached)

I’ve been teaching Actium lately and Octavian’s victory monument at Nikopolis, the ‘victory city’ he founded and dedicated to Apollo after his victory. The front of the monument had a wall covered in the rams of defeated ships. Pictured now and then.
