<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3308942, member: 98035&quot;]The cross was a symbol of Christianity since at least the second century, as pagan writers mocked them for the perceived similarity of barbarians worshipping objects such as the maypole. Wikipedia says the early cross was a T, but we know without a doubt that the mint at Trier started putting recognizable crosses on coins soon after it became legal and permissible to do so, around 315-320. My OP Gallienus was only minted about 50 years prior to that, so I doubt the symbolism could have changed that dramatically.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
