The graffito is partially obliterated by a later drawing of a phallus (see D25.1) and affected by some fading. The head is turned to the left, and there is a short line starting from the chin that indicates the beginning of the neck. The man has short, wavy hair on the front, rendered with small curved lines; they become longer toward the back, where they are drawn in longer and parallel lines. The forehead is broad and straight, the nose long and pointed. A large eye, with indication of the pupil, is placed anatomically correctly, but there are no traces left of the mouth. This head is probably connected to T25.2.","caption":"Drawing of a face","writingStyleInEnglish":"charcoal","property":{"englishPropertyName":"Basilica","italianPropertyName":"Basilica","insula":{"shortName":"Agora","fullName":"Agora","city":{"name":"Smyrna","pleiadesId":"550771"}},"propertyTypes":[{"name":"Basilica","description":""}],"numberOfGraffiti":325,"uri":"Smyrna/Agora/1","propertyName":"Basilica","propertyNumber":"1"},"figuralInfo":{"drawingTags":[{"name":"Human figures","description":"drawings of humans"}],"descriptionInLatin":"((:caput hominis ad sin.))","descriptionInEnglish":"head of person facing left"},"trismegistosNumber":null,"uri":"https://ancientgraffiti.org/Graffiti/graffito/AGP-SMYD00254","agpId":"AGP-SMYD00254","citation":"AGP-SMYD00254, <i>The Ancient Graffiti Project</i>, &lt;https://ancientgraffiti.org/Graffiti/graffito/AGP-SMYD00254&gt; [accessed: 29 Apr 2026]","graffitoHeight":"23","graffitoLength":"18","pleiadesId":"550771","locationMetadataLink":"properties/Smyrna/Agora/1"}
