THE RESULTS OF THE FIRST PHASE OF ARCHEOLOGICAL PROBINGS ON THE CIMITER SQUARE OF SENJ
RANKO STARAC
Sažetak
Some probing archeological researchings were made on the north side of the Cimiter Square opposite the cathedral church facade early in the 1993. Some parts of the huge building complex were found there and, by comparing the style of building, the accompanying tiny archeological materials, specially the characteristic decoration of the mosaic floors, it was dated back to the 5th century. The motif of "Salomon's knot" has been one of the series of a frequently exploited symbolic narrative on the mosaic floors of early-christian monuments of the Aquilean cultural circle. This discovery has been rather encouraging for possible future explorings of the cathedral church circuit and defining of an early christian origin of the ancient Senia, which must had been an important centre during the Ostrogothic and early Byzantine rule to which were gravitating simultaneously the settlements and control stations along the coast of neighbouring east part of the island of Krk.
