A Greek war ship with fifty oars arranged twenty-five to a side in one tier.
A penteconter was not an all purpose ship like the trireme; the penteconter was equipped with a ram and it was designed specifically as a warship and therefore fast and maneuverable; approximately 125 feet (38 meters) in length and 12 feet (3.7 meters) wide.
