Soldiers under Constantine the Great often carried the Chi-Rho symbol, an early Christian symbol formed by the superimposition of the letters "X" (Chi) and "P" (Rho), representing Christ. This symbol was prominently featured on their shields and banners, notably during the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312 AD. Constantine believed that seeing the Chi-Rho in a vision before the battle ensured his victory and signified his support for Christianity. Additionally, the Labarum, a standard bearing the Chi-Rho, became a key emblem of his reign.
