Labarum +

The standard borne before the old Roman Emperors, having an eagle upon it as an emblem of sovereignty. It was a long lance with a cross staff at right angles. Constantine replaced the eagle by the christian monogram with the motto '''en touty nika '''which was later interpreted into ''In hoc signo vinces''. As to the monogram, it was a combination of the letter X, ''Chi'', and P, ''Rho'', the initial syllable of Christos. But the ''Labarum ''had been an emblem of Etruria ages before Constantine and the Christian era. It was the sign also of Osiris and of Horus who is often represented with the long Latin cross, while the Greek pectoral cross is purely Egyptian. In his “Decline and Fall” Gibbon has exposed the Constantine imposture. The emperor, if he ever had a vision at all, must have seen the Olympian Jupiter, in whose faith he died [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +
