Drevna bazilika u Cimu/Mostaru | Ancient basilica in Cim/Mostar

Remains of a basilica from late antiquity, located at Crkvine in Cim (in Mostar, Herzegovina), were found during the archaeological research in 1966. The existance of older parts could be dated back to 4th, or first half of the 5th century, while the newer parts are from the end of 5th and first half of 6th century. Dimensions of the basilica are 24,80 x 15 m. In addition to narthex, nave and presbytery, there is also a baptistery at the north side of the basilica. It is possible that the basilica was the seat of the unlocated Diocese of Sarsenterum, mentioned in the acts of Synod held in Salona in 533.

The present-day parish church of Christ the Good Shepherd, in the shape of Latin cross, and with three aisles, located at Đoluša, on the border between Cim and Ilići, is modeled on the ancient basilica.
Ostatci kasnoantičke bazilike, smještene na lokalitetu Crkvine u Cimu, otkriveni su tijekom arheoloških istraživanja 1966. godine. Postojanje starijih dijelova datira od IV. ili prve polovice V. stoljeća, a mlađi od kraja V. do prve polovice VI. stoljeća. Ukupne dimenzije bazilike iznose 24,80 x 15 m. Osim narteksa, glavne lađe i prezbiterija, na sjevernoj strani bazilike nalazi se i krstionica. Moguće je da je bazilika bila sjedište neubicirane biskupije Sarsenterum koja se spominje u dokumentima sinode održane u Saloni, 533. godine.

Po uzoru na drevnu baziliku u Crkvinama u obliku latinskog križa s tri lađe izgrađena je današnja župna crkva Krista Dobrog Pastira na lokalitetu Đoluša, na granici Cima i Ilića.
