Roman Gravestone The remarkable discovery was made in the renovation of the church in June 1976. During the first phase of renovations, after removing plaster on the south wall of the old walled Romanesque entrance of the original sacristy, the limestone slab measuring 175 x 76 x 18 cm was found . After careful removal of plaster appeared to be clearly legible inscription:

Q ATILIVS SP.F.VOT.PRI MVS.INTER R EX LEG XV.IDEM. NEGOTIATOR.AN LXXX. HSE Q.ATILIVS COCI TUS.ATILIA QL EAV STA.PRIVATUS.ET MARTIALIS.HERED P L L According to Dr. Titus Kolník inscription translates as:

Quintus Atilius Primus, son of Spurio Tribune Votbrimus. Interpreter XV. Legion centurion and businessman. He lived 80 years, is buried here. Quintus Atilius Cogitatus, Atilia, Quint L EAV Privatus and Matialisovi heirs. P had erected.

The gravestone dates from between 90 and 138AD. This is based on the dates when the Legion in which the centurion Q. Atilius served, was stationed at Carnuntum and in the area surrounding Bratislava.
