Here is one of these stones:70

On it, as you can see, the name of Cassta, a Roman martyr, is read. That Cassta was a martyr is, in addition to the acts of martyrdom in which her name is recorded, proved by a palm tree, which is found only on the tombstones of martyrs. This wonderful stone was dug out of the cemetery of St. Clement.

Another tombstone has been preserved with an inscription, on top of which, in the middle of the longitudinal line, a four-pointed cross is inscribed, and on the sides – on the right side – the name of Christ the Savior, and on the left – a palm tree of valiant martyrdom. Since the Latin words of this inscription are almost ordinary printed large letters of the Roman alphabet, we will not bother to take a picture of them and will present them in ordinary script. The shape of the stone is quadrangular, large.

From the inscription on the stone it is clear that the martyr Alexander suffered under the emperor Antoninus, and Antoninus reigned in the first half of the second century and at the very beginning of the second. This means that the monument also dates back to the same time.71 Let our misguided brethren look at it and be convinced that the four-pointed cross is the true cross of Christ, and not the seal of the Antichrist.
