(G. 9.) Angle of a base (?) found East of the Parthenon
in 1838. On both faces are reliefs, evidently votive. On
the front are two Avinged Victories confronted, who are
placing some object above an Argolic buckler: below the
buckler are lines which appear to belong to the wing of
the Victory on the right, whose head is turned round to
the right. The sculpture is too much decayed to be clearly
made out, but the subject represented is probably the
crowning of a trophy. On the extreme left is part of the
wing of another Victory. Above the relief are remains of
an inscription, apparently a dedication. On the return
face is a winged Victory standing by a tripod, which she
grasps with both hands. She is turned to the right,
looking towards a figure which has confronted her, of
which all that remains is the right arm with the hand
supporting the tripod. This was probably another
Victory.
Height, 1 foot 8 inches ; length, 2 feet 3 inches, and 1 foot 2J inches.
Ephemeris Arch. pi. 913.
(G. 10.) Belief representing a trireme found on the
Akropolis at Athens outside the steps of the Erechtheion
in 1852. This relief is interesting because it gives several
details in the structure of an ancient galley and shows the
manner in which the rowers were arranged in three banks
or rows, called by the Greeks tliranitae, zeugitae, thalamitae
respectively. The figures of the thranitae only are shown
in the relief.
Height, 1 foot 3 inches ; width, 1 foot inches. Annali of the
Roman Institute, 1861, Tav. d' Agg. M., fig. 2, pp. 327-30. See
Graser, De Re Navali Veterum, § 84, and in Archaol. Zeit.,
1874, p. 71. Presentedby Sir Patrick Colquhoun, 1874.
(G. 11.) Model representing the Akropolis at Athens as
it was in 1868, prepared by M. von der Launitz and
Professor Michaelis. Since that date the mediaeval tower
at the South-west angle of the Propylaea has been removed,
