(FOX NEWS) – The earliest known evidence of Christianity north
of Italy was recently unveiled by archaeologists, who call the
discovery one of the "most important testimonies of early
Christianity."

The artifact, publicized by the Frankfurt Archaeological Museum
last week, is called the Frankfurt silver inscription. Discovered
in 2018, the inscription has been analyzed and studied for years
before finally being released to the public this month.

The Frankfurt silver inscription is an engraving on silver foil that
consists of 18 lines written in Latin. It dates to between 230 and
260 A.D. and was discovered wrapped in a small silver amulet.

In a press release translated from German, the museum explained
that the artifact was found in a third-century grave in Hesse,
Germany, in what was once the former Roman city of Nida.

Archaeologists developed a reconstruction image of what
the ancient church would have looked like.

Archaeologists recently uncovered what they believe to be one
of the oldest Christian churches in the world.

The University of Münster announced the discovery of the fourth
-century church in a press release on Oct. 11.

The school, located in Germany, teamed up with archaeologists
from the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia to find the
ancient ruins.

The remains of the ancient Christian building were found at the
Artaxata site in the Ararat Plain. Excavators have been digging
there since 2018, but didn’t find the remains until recently.
