Actian dekanaia
The Actian dekanaia was a Roman trophion at the Cape of Actium composed of a dedication of ten warships, which served as a memorial for Caesar Augustus' naval victory over the allies of Mark Antony and Cleopatra VII in the Battle of Actium. Since no conclusive archaeological remains have been identified so far, the descriptions of the site by classical authors, especially Strabo, remain the only sources available.
According to Strabo's account in Geographica, the trophy was located on the shore down the hill where the Temple of Actian Apollo stood. It consisted of ten warships of various sizes captured from the fleets of Mark Antony and Cleopatra VII and were protected by ship sheds. These structures and the ships, however, were burned down by the time Strabo wrote about them.
