Summary/Abstract: The present article refers to a recent find (during the campaign of 2016) from Capidava, roman and early-byzantine fort on the Danube limes (provinces of Moesia Inferior/Scythia Minor), as part of the research of the ‘Edifice with Apse’ (in the bibliography of Capidava it was also referred to as the ‘late Principia’). We opted for an individual publication of this artefact due to its novelty, so that it can be introduced without delay to the specialized literature and thus make it available to researchers dedicated to this subject.
