摘要:The archaeological investigations conducted inside the cathedral of Cosenza have clarified various aspects of the history of the city. Under the presbytery, in fact, the mosaic floor of a baptismal font with channels of inflow and outflow of water has been brought to light. The vitreous finds, found buried in a hole inside the baptismal font, document the use of the spring from the end of the IV to the end of the VI-beginning of the VII century. The site was reoccupied in the 13th century with the construction of the cathedral of Frederick II. The excavation has highlighted a rich stratigraphic palimpsest, with evidence that can be ascribed to the Brettian, Roman, Late Antique, Medieval and Post-Medieval periods.
