An exploration of one of Christianity’s most revered symbols—the cross upon which Jesus was crucified. The authors delve into the history and significance of the Titulus Crucis, the inscription placed above Jesus' head during the crucifixion, which has been preserved as a relic in Rome's Santa Croce in Gerusalemme church.

Thiede and D’Ancona challenge the prevailing scholarly skepticism regarding the authenticity of Christian relics. The book is both informative and thought-provoking, offering a journey through early Christian history and the significance of relics in religious tradition. [Adapted from Reviews]
