Any chance you could link or show images of these ships on the reliefs? I'm just interested what they look like really...

There was supposedly a 'marble liburnian' in central Constantinople (mentioned in the Notitia Urbis Constantinopolitanae I think), often connected to the defeat of Gainas; I've wondered before whether it might in fact relate to the Hellespont battle of AD324 (more directly related to the foundation of the city)...
