Yolaçan Graffiti from the Basilica in the Agora of Smyrna First published by the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World and the New York University Press, 2016. New York 2016 EDR SMYD00295 AGP AGP-SMYD00295 Charcoal Dimensions: 13 18 ((:duo capita hominum ad sin.)) heads of people facing left Smyrna 0180-0300 C.E. Basilica of the Agora of Smyrna, Izmir, Turkey

Julian calendar

Very damaged dipinto of two heads in profile, located in the lower left quadrant of the back wall of Bay 29. Both are facing to the left. The head to the left is poorly preserved: the top is round and with no indication of hair. The neck, terminating in an inverted triangle, is quite elongated. A large almond-shaped eye is the only feature clearly distinguishable. The head to the right is slightly better preserved. A jeweled veil covers the top of the head (the jewels are rendered as lozenges), and the eye is round with clear indication of the eyebrow. The nose is pointed and the mouth possibly opened. The lower part of the graffito is badly damaged and illegible.
