Ancient Roman Navy!
Military mastery of the oceans could be a critical aspect in the success of any land operation, and the Romans were well aware that a formidable naval force could deliver troops and supplies to where they were most needed in the shortest amount of time. Naval boats might also feed besieged ports under enemy attack and, in turn, blockade ports under enemy control. A strong fleet was also required to fight with pirates, who caused havoc on commercial sea-traders and, on occasion, blockaded ports. However, maritime combat had its own set of challenges, with bad weather being the greatest threat to victory, which is why naval battles were primarily restricted to the months of April and November.

Ancient Israelite Steps
The Levant region of the Mediterranean Sea, which approximately corresponds to the modern-day State of Israel, was under the rule of the Kingdom of Israel. Historically, the area was referred to as Judea, Palestine, Yehud Medinata, Canaan, Phoenicia, and, until the Romans destroyed it in 136 CE, Syria-Palestina. The area was purportedly founded by Isaac and Jacob, two descendants of the Hebrew patriarch Jacob, also known as Israel, and named after him in the Bible. Joshua, a Hebrew general, is said to have later conquered the area approximately 1250 BCE, following the Exodus from Egypt under Moses.
