Sextus Pompeius lost thirty ships at Mylae, and at Naulochus, out of three hundred which he had, eighteen were sunk and the rest, with the exception of seventeen, burned or captured. Cf. App. B. C. V, 108, 118, 121. Plut. Ant. 68, says that Augustus took 300 ships at Actium. These captures give, in round numbers, 600 vessels.
