The figure is badly damaged and mostly faded. Still visible are the left leg, the left arm, and part of the clothing of a male figure in profile, turned toward the right. The left arm seems to be extended forward and raised, possibly holding a short sword. These details are not sufficient to establish to which category this gladiator belonged. A discussion of representations of left-handed gladiators in funerary stelae and pictorial graffiti as well as textual graffiti appears in Coleman 1996.","caption":"Drawing of a gladiator","writingStyleInEnglish":"charcoal","property":{"englishPropertyName":"Basilica","italianPropertyName":"Basilica","insula":{"shortName":"Agora","fullName":"Agora","city":{"name":"Smyrna","pleiadesId":"550771"}},"propertyTypes":[{"name":"Basilica","description":""}],"numberOfGraffiti":325,"uri":"Smyrna/Agora/1","propertyName":"Basilica","propertyNumber":"1"},"figuralInfo":{"drawingTags":[{"name":"Gladiators","description":""}],"descriptionInLatin":"((:gladiator ad dext.))","descriptionInEnglish":"gladiator facing right"},"trismegistosNumber":null,"uri":"https://ancientgraffiti.org/Graffiti/graffito/AGP-SMYDP0743","agpId":"AGP-SMYDP0743","citation":"AGP-SMYDP0743, <i>The Ancient Graffiti Project</i>, &lt;https://ancientgraffiti.org/Graffiti/graffito/AGP-SMYDP0743&gt; [accessed: 29 Apr 2026]","graffitoHeight":"30","graffitoLength":"25","pleiadesId":"550771","locationMetadataLink":"properties/Smyrna/Agora/1"}
