Kostis did a nice job. There is not one specific or certain way to make ancient sail rigging. But Kostis made one very credible example of how it could be done.

I faced that problem too. So I photographed many replica models and graphic reconstructions during my trips to maritime archaeology museums in Athens, Piraeus and Venice and collected the scarce number of books on this topic.
Here are some of the clearest examples. All of them different and all of them interpretations by specialists. I still do not understand all of these rigging systems. But I usually compare all different possibilities and make my own (simplified) interpretation.
