<p>[QUOTE="7Calbrey, post: 2412790, member: 38412"]Hi guys. I noticed that some Ptolemy coins, namely Ptol III, include the well known dual combination of letters Chi- Rho. That is XP in Greek between the legs of the eagle on reverse. What could they refer to? Control or mint mark. And what is their interpretation. Is it by coincidence that the Constantine Dynasty adopted that symbol as a Christogram for Christ in their early reign ? I'm so curious.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
