There is no indication of yards, sails, or mast, and also the rigging is not defined. The hull is rounded and the keel is strongly rockered. At the prow is visible a very schematic rendering of a cheniscus. The stern seems unfinished.","caption":"Drawing of a boat","writingStyleInEnglish":"Graffito/incised","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":"Boats","description":"drawings of boats"}],"descriptionInLatin":"((:navis))","descriptionInEnglish":"boat"},"trismegistosNumber":null,"uri":"https://ancientgraffiti.org/Graffiti/graffito/AGP-SMYDP0783","agpId":"AGP-SMYDP0783","citation":"AGP-SMYDP0783, <i>The Ancient Graffiti Project</i>, &lt;https://ancientgraffiti.org/Graffiti/graffito/AGP-SMYDP0783&gt; [accessed: 29 Apr 2026]","graffitoHeight":"4","graffitoLength":"15.5","pleiadesId":"550771","locationMetadataLink":"properties/Smyrna/Agora/1"}
