Did you know how Byzantine Fire Ships worked and became the super weapons of their age?
The Fire Ships of the Byzantine Empire were created shortly after the discovery of Greek Fire in the 7th century AD. Engineers quickly began experimenting with incendiaries and methods of delivery, ultimately creating the famed Siphons which could be mounted on Byzantine Dromons. These fire ships would defeat the Arab and Kievan Rus invasions which sought to siege Constantinople on multiple occasions.
