Soon after Democrates arrived at Syracuse in 362 BC, he began a technology academy there. The Syracusian Navy was in dire need of new weapons to combat Carthage's navy. New technological advances included the steam propelled oar allowing for an extreme reduction in the number of men needed to man the ship. This new advance also allowed iron plating to render ramming obsolete in naval warfare. Soon Syracuse controlled most of the western Mediterranean.
