On the Distinct Likelihood that if that Carthaginian Vessel Hadn't Strayed Into Roman Waters (Circa the Late 3rd Century BC) and Gotten Seized, Rome's Own Naval Fleet Would Have Never Progressed to the Degree that it Did (Eventually Supplanting Carthage as the Number One Naval Force on the Mediterranean)

Yeah, I guess that the Romans used the Carthaginian vessel as a blueprint (literally copying it nail for nail) and started building ships of this caliber 24/7 until they had what was probably the largest fleet in the world. Pretty damned sneaky, huh?
