Explanation: A corvus is an ancient Roman naval boarding device of the kind shown, basically a bridge with a nail in it put on a warship. I think it's got some dark horse energy in this matchup, I'm betting on the corvus as the winner ๐
Especially after the hunk of iron runs our of fuel. You can power the corvus on cheetos and red bull, but without oil, the corvette is dead in the water. Even it's weapons system, other than side arms, is useless.
Forget giving radio to the Romans. Let's give energy drinks to legionaries.
