I agree completely that most Greek and Roman merchant ships were sailing ships, not galleys, for the reasons given. To be honest, my information about merchant galleys comes from a novel, and the author may have been wrong.he sailors, who usually did not row, were also free volunteers. OTOH, merchant galleys, which were owned by civilians, used slave rowers. Slaves were plentiful in Greek, and especially Roman, times and relatively inexpensive to buy.
Carthage also raised fine horses, the ancestor of today's Barb horses. Carthage's merchant ships, which surpassed in number even those of the cities of the Levant, visited every major port of the Mediterranean, as well as Britain and the Atlantic coast of Africa. These ships were able to carry over 100 tons of goods. Carthage also sent caravans into the interior of Africa and Persia.
