Chi Rho

 

Chi Rho gained widespread popularity and found much use by the Christians after it was adopted by the great Roman military commander, Emperor Constantine I as a vexillum (military standard).

 

History has it that the symbol appeared to Constantine in a vision or dream before he fought the Battle of the Milivian Bridge outside Rome in 312 A.D. and he had it put on his soldiers’ shields.

 

His army won the battle and subsequently, the deeply affected emperor legalized the religion of Christianity across the Roman Empire.

 

Later, the symbol also appeared on the coins of Emperor Constantine and his successors.
