Abstract

The present paper analyzes a fragment of marbled plaque with a Christian-like inscription, originating from the Roman theatre of Cadiz. The importance of this piece lies it its being one of the few archeological remains that evidence the implantation of Christianity in the site during one of the most unknown periods of its history. The engraving in the marble piece represents an arrangement widely spread in the late-ancient art, as it is an architectural motif containing a symbolic representation.
