<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 8170313, member: 87200"]I don't think it's a cross but a blundered reverse device. As pointed out above the Christogram came before the cross, and maybe a fish symbol as well. If you want to go even further back supposedly Otacilia Severa was a closet Christian as reported by Eusebius and Chrysostum in the 4th century, and perhaps Philip, who was reputed to have visited a church during mass at some point in his reign.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
