Does anyone know the recommended base sizes for Roman Seas ships beyond the ones found in the core Roman Navy set described in the instructions? I tried signing up for the Yahoo discussion group, but as I understand, it can take a long time to get approved for that.

All Yahoo groups are dead so you will never get an answer from them. This is the place to ask. Sorry but I do not know the answer. I suppose you might ask on Wargames Vault

I can't recall the source for this list, but I think it came from Eric. Note that the "classical" ships have the same base sizes as suggested in the Roman Seas Model Assembly Guide. Roman Seas Base Sizes Roman Scout, Hemoila & Liburnian, Carthaginian Monoreme & Bireme, Small Merchant Small Actuaria, Small "War" Actuaria, Small Saxon, Large Saxon: 5.0 x 3.0 inches Roman & Carthaginian Trireme, Medium Veneti: 8.0 x 3.5 inches Roman & Carthaginian Quadreme: 8.5 x 3.5 inches Roman & Carthaginian Quinquereme, Antonian Heptares, Large Merchant, Large Actuaria, Large "War" Actuaria, Large Veneti: 9.0 x 3.5 inches Roman Hexeres & Antonian Octaries, Novares, Deceres: 9.0 x 4.0 inches
