Classis Africana Commodiana Herculea

  • The Classis Africana Commodiana Herculea is mentioned by the Historia Augusta as either an African Grain Fleet to supply Rome or a navy to protect the African Grain Fleet, created by Commodus (176-192 CE).
  • Classis meant Fleet in Latin and the Historia Augusta thought it may have been based at Carthage. Two thirds of Rome’s grain supply came from North Africa.
