The Cross is the most potent and recognisable symbol of civilized society, but what are its historical origins? What is the evidence for its actual, physical existence? In a small church in Rome, a tiny neglected artefact, hidden for hundreds of years, may hold the answer to these questions.

Review:

"Revisionist history...that's interesting, well-made, and should attract much attention." --"Kirkus Reviews" "Fascinating...such a study as this is long overdue, scrupulously executed and will grip the imagination of believer and non-believer alike." --"Daily Mail" "The implications are momentous...A pleasure to read. Thiede and d'Ancona deserve the wide audience this courageous book will enjoy." --"Daily "Telegraph "This is a totally absorbing book." --"Spectator"

Book Description:
