Julian calendar

Dipinto of a palm branch, located on the southern face of Pier A43, between Bay 31 and Bay 32, looking into the Basilica’s northern corridor. The image is immediately below DP43.1, but it was painted onto a later layer of plaster, as already discussed with DP43.1. The branch is rendered with a central vertical line (the rachis), from which are departing two sets of 6 symmetrical diagonal lines (the leaflets), progressively shortening toward the tip of the branch. Scanty traces of three additional diagonal lines seem to suggest that the branch was enclosed by a rhomboidal frame.
