It bears on the main face a cruciform monogram flanked by two broad grooves, with a lily flower in the corners. The monogram is inscribed in a double circle and it was read \u1f38\u03c9\u03ac\u03bd\u03bd\u03bf\u03c5. It is hypothesized to be one of the Bishop of Tomis, John, who lived in the first half of the 5th century AD. Bishop John is mentioned in ancient writings as one of the defenders of Orthodoxy during the great Nestorian and Monophysite controversies of the 5th century.<br><br>{monogramma:} \u1f38\u03c9\u03ac\u03bd\u03bd\u03bf\u03c5 (Ioannes)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ioannes is a Christian name of Semitic origin and is frequently found in inscriptions from Scythia in the 4th-6th centuries AD. The capital with Christian symbols is supposed to come from an ecclesiastical building, perhaps even from a church dedicated to St. John, in Tomis, eight Christian places of worship have been identified so far. The hypothesis of a church dedicated to St. John in Tomis is confirmed by a funerary stele dated in the 4th \u2013 5th century AD, erected for Maru, daughter of John (\u1f38\u03c9\u03ac\u03bd\u03bd\u03bf\u03c5), administrator of the church of St. John.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">St. John the Baptist is one of the most important figures in the Christian tradition, playing a crucial role in preparing people for the coming of Jesus Christ. St. John the Baptist is venerated as a symbol of penance, humility and courage in the service of God, Christians from all over the world celebrate him on January 7th.
