  Dromon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They could be built in many shapes and sizes and ranged from 30-50 meters long and 5-7 meters wide, carrying up to 300 men (both fighting marines and rowers).
The dromons had a central tower (xylokastron = wooden castle) near the main mast, from which the marines could use their bow and arrows or throw spears and other projectiles.
Most dromons were equipped with flamethrowers (syphonopho-rami) that discharged Greek fire and catapults capable of hurling 10 kg projectiles up to 250 meters.
