A dromond is a type of medieval ship that was commonly used in the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Other synonyms for dromond include galleys, triremes, and warships. These ships were used mainly for warfare and had a distinctive design and structure that facilitated speed and maneuverability on the water. They were often fitted with multiple oars on either side and had a long, narrow hull. Other similar types of ships include biremes and quinqueremes. Dromonds and other medieval ships played a significant role in shaping naval warfare during their time and continue to be studied by historians and naval enthusiasts to this day.
