In the cathedra's northern hall, an entrance leading to the service area was discovered where a grape squeezer and a skeleton of a human who died of torture were found. A martyr of the Roman persecution it seems.

A martyr of the Roman persecution it seems.By the 5th century, it coulda been the Christians doing the torturing, for all we know.
Or it could've been simply a 5th century crime, and maybe that desecration is what led to the cathedral's disuse.

Possibly. There's not enough info in this article to determine one way or another.
In any event, this serves as a reminder that Syria used to be a Christian nation.

Is this really a “cathedral”?
