![]() In the northeastern corner of the nave, next to the subselia, there was a small piscina. ![]() Two steps, built to the north, lead up to the presbyterium. Th e nave contains an apsidal priest‘s bench with a bema. Th e northern and southern sides probably had symmetrical utility room, the northern side being unexcavated. Its construction is simple, with one nave without narthex, the whole measuring 11 m × 14 m. Although the church has not yet been fully excavated, its plan can be reconstructed. Th e ruins of an Early Christian church were discovered inside this fortifi ed area. Th e central area of this complex occupies a spacious plateau (even allowing for the fortifi cations) which off ers the best possible protection. Th e site is well defended, partly by steep slopes and partly by a system of fortifi cations. However, some years ago a large Roman complex was discovered on a hilltop (with two summits) in a hilly area south of the Drava valley: Lonja. Th ese sites are located in the lowlands, near major roads and rivers. Although some of the larger and more important ancient Roman urban areas have been excavated on and off for years, they have rarely produced Early Christian fi nds. Our view of the Early Christian period in north-western Croatia is incomplete and this is largely owed to the lack of archaeological research. ![]() Having surveyed similar burials of that date from Corinth, Pergamon, present-day Albania and Sardinia, we are in favour of interpreting them in the context of social changes which occurred at a time of crisis in the Empire, and not in ethnic terms. Being very diff erent from the sixth-century Roman burials, they were commonly attributed to migratory mercenaries of the Empire. Such graves are rarely found throughout the Byzantine Empire. The anthropological analysis indicates that the deceased had military training. Alongside them there was a purse buckle, also a characteristic early seventh-century Byzantine product. Th e belt consists of pressed bronze sheet strap-ends and a cast bronze buckle. In the grave, a 30–40 year old male was buried with his belt and a battle axe. Th e locality is situated in the southernmost part of present-day Serbia, in the South Morava valley, on the route of the Roman Via publica. Until one day, his prayers were answered in the form of a weathered grimoire.In the course of rescue excavations in 2011 a grave was found at the Davidovac-Gradište site. The Lamb knew this was nigh impossible, for what cult could function without a leader? Despite knowing this, he still prayed for a break from his taxing work. Yet countless years spent nurturing and appeasing his flock has left him weary and eager for an opportunity to forego his responsibilities for the briefest of moments. ![]() ![]() His cult thrived and expanded, his word second to none and his reign absolute over the land. That was the question that plagued the Lamb after his triumph over heretics and death alike. Accomplishing such things leaves one soaring high in their lives until a single question blindsides them. Getting revenge after a lifetime of wrong, standing at the top of a company after starting as a janitor. There is always a sense of wonder when one reaches theirs goals, especially if said goals seemed impossible.
