did ancient Romans name their ships
Roman navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaRoman ships were commonly named after gods (Mars, Iuppiter, Minerva, Isis), mythological heroes (Hercules), geographical maritime features such as Rhenus or Oceanus, concepts such as Harmony, Peace, Loyalty, Victory (Concordia, Pax, Fides, Victoria) or after important events (Dacicus for the Trajan's Dacian Wars or Salamina for the Battle of Salamis).[92] They were distinguished by their figurehead (insigne or parasemum),[93] and, during the Civil Wars at least, by the paint schemes on their turrets, which varied according to each fleet.
