Dromon: Evolution and features, General and cited sources & Variants
The dromon (from Greek δρόμων, dromōn, lit. 'runner'), a type of galley, became the most important type of warship of the Byzantine navy from the 5th to 12th centuries AD, after which the Italian-style galley superseded it. It developed from the ancient liburnian, which was the mainstay of the Roman navy during classical antiquity.

Connections between topic areas Semantic bridges
Semantic bridges connect parts of the graph that would otherwise be more separate. A bridge is a structural signal in this analysis, not a claim that the two topic areas are equivalent.
For Dromon, one of the stronger structural bridges in this analysis connects Dromon with Evolution and features. Bridges highlight paths between different parts of the map and can reveal research angles that are easy to miss in a flat list.
