The day prior to the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, Constantine claimed that he had seen a cross in the sky, and the words, "By this sign you will conquer" inscribed in the sky. That night, he said that he had a dream, telling him that the Christian God would ensure his victory. The Christian historian, Eusebius recorded this after Constantine's death, but implied that the emperor was not altogether telling the truth about his vision.

What does the latin words in hoc signo mean in English?

It is actually a Latin Phrase... In whole it reads: "In hoc signo vinces". It is a motto meaning "In this sign you will conquer." And is the motto of the Knights Templar, top of the York Rite of the Masonic Order. Origins: According to a well-known Catholic legend, Emperor Constantine the Great won the battle of the Milvian Bridge against Maxentius in the year 312, because previously (at Saxa Rubra) he had seen a vision where he saw a cross with the words "In hoc signo vinces" (in this sign you will conquer), so he had his soldiers carry a cross on their armors and shields. Of course, this predates the Knights Templar motto by many centuries.
