Archaeologists unearth 4th century church

The ruins were located only several meters from another church that was discovered in 2000, the paper reported.

The excavation also unearthed more than 600 objects including coins, jewels, utensils, and frescos.

"The discovery of a bronze ring decorated with a cross is particularly important because it proves that Christians lived here," Jeremić said.

Mediana, once a Roman vacation resort, is located on the outskirts of Nis, the birthplace of Roman emperor Constantine The Great, which at the time was known as Niassus.
