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 SMYDP1041 AGP AGP-SMYDP1041 ((:duo capita hominum)) two heads of people Smyrna 0180-0300 C.E. Basilica of the Agora of Smyrna, Izmir, Turkey

Julian calendar

Dipinto of three heads, located on the north vault springing from Pier A104, looking into the Basilica’s southern corridor. It is impossible to measure them due to their position. The three heads are shown in profile, turned toward the left. They are all very stylized. Of the first head to the left, only part of the back is still visible due to the detachment of most of the plaster. The central head, also damaged at the top, is characterized by a long pointed nose, open mouth, and undershot chin. The large eye is oval in shape and set diagonally. The nape is rounded and there is no clear indication of the hair. The head to the right, partially damaged to the top, is rhomboidal in shape, with a very elongated and tapering neck. It has a very large lozenge-shaped eye with the pupil made in a short diagonal line, a long and pointed nose, wide open mouth, and undershot chin. No indication of hair is visible.
