New York 2016 EDR SMYD00092 AGP AGP-SMYD00092 Charcoal Dimensions: 58 38 ((:navis)) ship Smyrna 0180-0300 C.E. Basilica of the Agora of Smyrna, Izmir, Turkey

Julian calendar

Very faded dipinto of a ship located at the center of the back wall of Bay 9, toward the bottom. The most evident element is the cordage (τοπεῖα) that connects the mast, the yard, and the sail (all almost completely vanished) to the bulwark. The prow and the stern are poorly preserved, while the bulwark is characterized by a criss-cross pattern of thick lines. No oars are visible.
