sailing boats and galley slaves....

Well sailing bods, I have a question...

Having watched the series Rome, I got to wonder how long it would have taken an average trading barge circa year 0000 to travel from Rome to Egypt. Any ideas boaty folkies?

Interesting replies chaps. It must have been some sight to see, a galley in full war mode. Thanks.
