Victoria!! The link was found:
http://home.arcor.de/berzelmayr/bireme.html
This is the liburna 3D reconstructed in all its glory. I did notice the newspaper had used one of these pictures, quoting the source as the municipality of Millingen, so presumably the person who made this reconstruction is involved as well.
Does anyone have any knowledge of a liberna being excavated elswhere?? The NAVIS site is really good for finding ships, but sometimes awaits the scientific evaluation before posting. The Mainz site links to the NAVIS site, both are excellent. MARCvSVIBIvSMAvRINvS, this type of vessel is bigger then the Mainz B you posted and yes, it does have a ram! It also has a castle up front, supporting archers or even a ballista.
I really envy Jasper, but it probably couldn't happen to a nicer guy
