A Mould Used for Manufacturing Metal Crosses Discovered in the Vicinity of the Episcopal Basilica from Histria

Abstract

A mould for manufacturing metal crosses was found during the 2013 excavations in the Centre-North sector from Histria, in a chamber located in the close proximity of the northern axis of the atrium of the Episcopal Basilica (1a). The crosses were probably used during the religious services taking place in the Histrian basilica.
