Wai Aria Roles for navigation -- breadcrumbs

I training myself and putting together some mockups for the next
generation of html for the specific site I am working on. I am still
learning landmark roles for presentation.

The site has horizontal global navigation and each link in the
horizontal takes you to sub section, each with a sub navigation menu
for that section and is located in the left nav.

The site also has breadcrumbs that will be dynamically generated
depending in the page.

My questions are:
Is there a role for sub menu items? Does one use role="navigation"
twice on one page?
Is there a special role for breadcrumb navigation?

Thanks,

Nancy
