Christa Steinby is a leading expert on the Roman navy, the Punic Wars and warfare at sea in the classical world. She has taught ancient and Roman history at the University of Turku and University College Cork. She has published many academic papers on aspects of naval warfare in the Roman world as well as a book on the Roman republican navy.
"Overall, Steinby's book provides a naval-centered view of the conflicts between Rome and Carthage, giving readers a perspective that is not common in modern treatments. The value of this volume should not be underestimated. It is to be recommended to lay-readers as well as to students, both of whom will no doubt find it very helpful; and to academics, too, there is value in seeking out Steinby's views on these ever-important wars."-- "Res Militares"
