        <p>Small graffito incised on the eastern face of Pier A72. The symbol is composed of a central vertical line, along which are superimposed three circles, each made by two corresponding curved lines that meet along the central axis. The lower and upper circles are similar in size, while the central one is significantly larger. The interpretation of the graffito is uncertain.</p>
