  Abstract:  Notes on Christian archaeology. 7. A gem stoned gold ring with Christian symbole and Christian inscription discovered at Durostorum (Moesia II). The author (N. Gudea) makes some critical observations on a work published by Georgi Atanasov (Atanasov 2007) about a gold ring discovered in an inhumation grave at Durostorum. Fig. 1-2. Georgi Atanasov articole on the gold ring with a gemstone bearing christian symbols and a christian inscription was published in the review of the Brukenthal National Museum from Sibiu. The discovery place is in the late roman cemetery of the town, graves being positioned south, south-east and south-west against the former legionary camp. On the spot several funerary monuments (pagan as well as christian) were found, but simple graves are also present. Due to the position of four skeletons from the grave (partially burn and decapitated). G. Atanasov considers that the skeletons might have belonged to some martyrs, dating fron the persecution from 303-311 or 362. The theme of the critical discussion is the inscription that accompanies the christian symbols (the anchor and the fishes). The author (N. Gudea) considers that G. Atanasov did not interpret it in a correct way. N. Gudea demonstrates thet the inscription cant o be read ZESAIS grec. ZHCAIC; she is the equivalent of the latin acclamation „vivas” and gives his arguments for this affirmation.
