<p>[QUOTE=&quot;philologus_1, post: 3537145, member: 92212&quot;]Speaking of ancient Roman coins with a Cross: See attached for my 26 different examples of Valentinian II SALVS REIPVLICAE AE4&#039;s which include various shapes/forms of a Cross. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have another 51 examples of the same emperor&#039;s SALVS REIPVBLICAE AE4 types which each include a form of Tau-Rho rather than a Cross.

Not surprisingly there is quite a variety! It appears that despite the plethora of Cross and Tau-Rho varieties, none of this emperor&#039;s SALVS coins were produced with a true Chi-Rho. This despite the fact that a Chi-Rho appears as early as 327 AD.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
