It is composed of thin black lines with a few highlights in red. The image depicts a male figure, a gladiator, in profile and advancing toward the right. The upper part of the body is better preserved, whereas most of the detailing of the legs has vanished. The man wears a helmet with long neck-guard and a balteus. The way his bust is depicted seems to suggest the presence of a long coat of scale armor, an element distinctive of images of secutores in later representations from the Eastern empire.","caption":"Drawing of a gladiator","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":"Gladiators","description":""}],"descriptionInLatin":"((:gladiator ad dext., secutor))","descriptionInEnglish":"gladiator facing right, secutor"},"trismegistosNumber":null,"uri":"https://ancientgraffiti.org/Graffiti/graffito/AGP-SMYD00261","agpId":"AGP-SMYD00261","citation":"AGP-SMYD00261, <i>The Ancient Graffiti Project</i>, &lt;https://ancientgraffiti.org/Graffiti/graffito/AGP-SMYD00261&gt; [accessed: 29 Apr 2026]","graffitoHeight":"18","graffitoLength":"9","pleiadesId":"550771","locationMetadataLink":"properties/Smyrna/Agora/1"}
