"The Lenormant Relief, from the Athenian Acropolis, depicting the rowers of an aphract Athenian trireme, ca. 410 BC. Found in 1852, it is one of the main pictorial testaments to the layout of the triremes."

It's amazing and amusing that the actual proclamation inscription regarding the evacuation of Athens ahead of the Battle of Salamis was found in the 20th c during some renovation work in (I think it was) an old café.
