G0395 - A MALE HEAD

North-east corner of the Forum, to the east of the Capitolium (see ICCD N015468). The head is looking to the west (the Capitolium).

Interpretation: there seems to be a strand of hair on the slab to the right, indicating that the graffito was made at this spot.

G0509 - A WARNING

- Found in 2010 on a marble slab of the Forum by the Ostia Forum Project: LVRE SIC EXPIRIS.

Interpretation: "Lurius, in this way you will die". Originally the first word seems to have been LVPE (wolf), the P later changed to an R.
