Quinquereme, kwin′kwe-rēm, n. an ancient galley having five banks of oars.

Half an hour later one of the watch on a quinquereme that lay off the mouth of the Egyptian Harbor to prevent the escape of any of the Tyrian vessels heard a voice under the stern and saw the white gleam of Joel's shoulders in the water.

Strong ropes were attached to it and carried out to a quinquereme.

A Carthaginian "quinquereme," or boat with five banks of oars, drifted to the Roman coast.

In the trireme each diaphragma supported three, in the quinquereme five, in the octireme eight, and in the famous tesseraconteres forty seats of rowers, who all belonged to the same ‘complexus,’ though each to a different bank.
