Викинг. Александр Мазин

(гладиус) – короткий римский меч.

      Бирюч, он же глашатай, он же вестник… Словом, тот, кто в стародавние времена заменял СМИ, если требовалось довести до населения общественно полезную информацию. Например, объявить кого-нибудь в древнерусский розыск.

      Драккар – парусно-гребной военный корабль викингов VII–X вв. Длина – порядка сорока, а ширина до шести метров. Размеры определялись числом румов (гребных мест). Судоходность этих корабликов не уступала храбрости их экипажей. До Африки доплывали. И до Северной Америки. Правда, уже из Гренландии. Средняя скорость драккара достигала десяти узлов, и двухсотмильный дневной переход не считался чем-то выдающимся. Форштевень для устрашения неприятеля украшали изображения какого-либо зверя, чаще всего – дракона, от коего скорее всего и произошло название этого типа кораблей.
