(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.

On December 16, 1944, the Germans launched the last major
offensive of the war, Operation Autumn Mist, also known as
the Ardennes Offensive and the Battle of the Bulge, an
attempt to push the Allied front line west from northern
France to northwestern Belgium.

The Battle of the Bulge, so-called because the Germans
created a “bulge” around the area of the Ardennes forest
in pushing through the American defensive line, was the
largest fought on the Western front.
