Summary
Dozens, and sometimes hundreds, of small boats operatedinside or in the svrroundings of the greatest portsof the Roman West. They towed sea-going ships ortranshipped their cargo. These working boats alsoconnected different elements of port-systems byproviding transportation between inner and outerharbours, or between maritime and fluvial ports.Archaeological evidence for these activities isbecoming more and more abundant with the discoveryof shipwrecks. For instance, the Arles-Rhône 3 boatwas carrying stone, probably towards the Camargue insouthern Gaul, when it sank in the Rhône during theFlavian era. On its return journey it might havetransported imports from outer sea ports to theriver port of Arles. The boatmen from the Rhônedelta thus connected maritime navigation andlong-distance river navigation. Indeed, the nautae of the Rhône and theDurance took charge of the latter upstream fromArles. Ostia and Portus also provide greatarchaeological evidence which has been recentlystudied by Giulia Boetto.
