Lucien Basch (February 5, 1930 - January 25, 2018) was a Belgian historian of navigation in Antiquity and jurist.[1] He attained the post of First Advocate General at the Brussels Court of Appeal.[2].

Early life

[edit]

Basch was born in Antwerp on February 5, 1930. He became interested in the maritime world under the influence of his uncle Rogerd Gillard, an officer in the French Navy, and was self-taught like his colleague and friend Honor Frost.[1]

Works

[edit]

He was the author of the encyclopedic work Le musée imaginaire de la marine antique (1987),[3] with 1136 figures, of which it has been stated that "this monumental 'Nautical History of Antiquity' based on ancient iconography remains an essential work of reference that it would be hard to be without or surpass today" (Harry Tzalas).[1]
