ABRITUS (Galena Radoslavova – galena_rz@abv.bg, Georgi Dzanev) The explorations of the Early Christian Large and Small Basilicas and the remains of Late Antique house situated below them, located in the eastern part of Abritus, continued. The Small Basilica was with three naves, one apse and tripartite narthex and was 15 m by 15 m in size. It was explored in 1992 – 1993. An Early Mediaeval bronze clasp of a book was found close to the apse. The bipartite room located to the south of the basilica was thoroughly explored and it probably was a baptistery. During the explorations of the remains of Late Antique house situated under the foundations of the basilica, a limestone base of a column and a small marble votive relief of the Thracian Horseman were discovered, reused as spolia in the structure. The northwestern corner of the atrium and the western half of the northern nave were explored in the Large Basilica. The walls were built of stones bonded with mortar and were 0.94 – 1 m wide. An earlier wall of the 4th – 5th centuries AD was discovered and the finds included sherds, iron nails, fragments from window glass, a follis of Licinius I minted in AD 321 – 324, a follis of Constantius II as a Caesar minted in AD 336 – 337 and a coin AE4 minted in the period AD 375 – 498. The floor of the earlier basilica was documented at 1.30 m in depth below the floor level of the Big Basilica. An Early Mediaeval iron hoe was found close to the southern wall of the Large Basilica.
