In the Piraeus naval inventories the "hypozomata" are the first listed and hence they are considered to be the most important hanging-gear of the triremes. A decree lays down the minimum number of men to be employed in fitting them to a ship and that the ship fitted with them are regarded as being in commission. Four is the regulation number carried and their total weight 462.8kg. But we have no further prescription in the inventories and relevant passages in the literature whatsoever about the way and place of the exact application of the "hypozomata". Classical scholars had scrutinized the literature and iconographical representations and their expertise had speculated that the "hypozomata" were passed round the outside of the hull. However, in 1987-90, the modern science and technology of marine engineering fulfilled the reconstruction of the Athenian trireme Olympias and found that they were to be fitted inside the hull. This paper is to verify if the way the reconstruction project discovered is the definitive one of applying the "hypozomata".
