<p>[QUOTE="7Calbrey, post: 2036211, member: 38412"]Hello. The reverse of this Valens' coin shows a soldier holding kinda banner on which are inscribed the Greek letters X and P. The first is Chi, and the second is Rho. They are one over another. They do represent the first two letters of Christ. I mean C and R in pronunciation. So that was an important symbol of Christianity on Late Roman Bronze coins, the like of Emperor Valens' . I would kindly like to read your generous comments and see what other similar symbols you could post on this blessed season of Christmas .</p><p> Thank you...
