An inscription on one of the tablets reads: "Let all forces and demons help that".

The find is of particular importance as other known examples of such tablets were engraved in lead.

There are also both mentions of Christ and Pagan gods on the tablets which shows the slow conversion from Paganism to Christianity.

The chief archaeologist at the site said: "It shows us how luxurious the life in Viminacium was or how much hope they had in the cursed tablet so that they used precious metals."

Archaeologists also found Christians and Pagans buried together, implying that the two religions lived together in tolerance of one another.

The city was destroyed by the Huns in the sixth century AD.
