Does anyone know of a company that makes 1/72 scale (or close to it) ancient ships? Preferably Roman or Greek style. I already know about Zvezda's triremes (I've already ordered the Roman Emperor's Trireme, should be a fun build.) But I'm looking for non-military ships/boats. Like merchant's vessels, fishing boats, etc. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Highly unlikely. You might find something in the wooden ship area, but a 72nd scale would probably not be here

The only source I could think of that might carry something like that would be model expo. And, they would be wooden kits. That doesn't mean of course that there is not a company out there that would make something like that.
