Interesting coins, sooner or later I will most likely branch out and get some of these too.

 

neat! so what does the cross mean on this coin DR?

 

Awesome presentation as usual @Deacon Ray

This article seems to go over it pretty well. https://www.beastcoins.com/Collections/OriginsOfTheCross/CrossOrigins.htm

 

@Ajax, thanks for the link to Beast's article on crosses.
For Christian symbols on Roman coins, see my site:

I always enjoy your site, thanks for sharing.

 

Most symbols used by Christians predate Christianity. The Beast Coin article on the "Origins of the Cross". (Thanks for posting, Ajax! @Ajax) is very good at discussing the history of the symbols. This coin was part of the T. B. Cartwright collection.
