ABSTRACT
AGAIN an astonishing feat of hauling vessels in a similar situation comes to light in the History of Regino: Vikings dragged their ships A. two miles over land to plunder Burgundy and Paris, and finally launched them on the Seine.1 Moreover Justin declares, in Bk XXXII, that the retainers of the Colchian king, pursuing the Argonauts, who had abducted his daughter, carried their boats on their own shoulders over the mountain ridges right to the shore of the Adriatic Sea.2
