Usage: The term "prumna" refers to the stern or the rear part of a ship. In the context of ancient maritime activities, the stern was a crucial part of the vessel, often associated with navigation and control.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, ships were a primary means of transportation and trade across the Mediterranean Sea.
