Macedonia Stobi Synagogue Basilica
An Early Christian Basilica is located to the south of the Civil Basilica. The name of the building stems from the fact that below the Basilica there are remains of two older Synagogues. Synagogue II was erected towards the end of the 3rd or the beginning of the 4th century AD while the older Synagogue I is from the 2nd century AD. The walls of Synagogue I had inscriptions: dedicated to the Father Polycharmos. After the destruction of Synagogue I the new Synagogue II was built. It was a larger temple with mosaic floors of geometrical motifs. The mortar on one of the walls had an inscribed menorah.
