This video is a culmination of that exploration into the little-covered world of ancient naval combat which I hope has been equally enlightening and entertaining. It is also worth mentioning that the battle maps I created for this video individually show the 680 vessels from both sides. Though this was painstaking to do, it was worth it to convey the insane scale of this encounter at sea.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d also like to point out that I tried using new effects in this video. I will continue to try new styles and adapt my presentations in the future and greatly appreciate any and all feedback. Thank you all for your support and help thus far. Its a true joy to have an audience for this passion of mine : )\ufeff <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Invicta Published on 12 Sep 2016 The Battle of Ecnomus in 256 BC is arguably the largest naval battle in history with 680 warships and an estimated 290,000 rowers and marines participating!
