In hoc signo vinces. By this sign, conquer.

By this sign

In 312 AD, on the eve of the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, the Roman emperor Constantine is said to have seen a cross of light in the sky with the words In hoc signo vinces: by this sign, you will conquer.

He had his soldiers mark their shields with the Chi-Rho, the first two Greek letters of Christ, and won the battle that made him master of Rome.

A year later his Edict of Milan ended the persecution of Christians. A faith once hidden in the catacombs went on to shape the empire, and the centuries that followed.
