Replica of the original artifact that is depicted in the last picture. According to the owner of the original ring (Victor Fernandez from Etsy shop Othertimethings), it dates back to VI-VIII centuries AD. Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire).
The Chi Rho is a Christian symbol for “Christ” written by superimposing the two Greek letters “Chi (X)” and “Rho (P)” which are the first two letters in Greek of the name of “CHRist.”
The first public use of the Chi Rho symbol was on the labarum, the shield of Constantine’s warriors in the Battle of Milvian Bridge on October 28, 213 AD. Emperor Constantine (reigned 306-337) and his troops saw a miraculous sign in the sky the day before the battle.
The use of the Chi Rho symbol preceded the use it by Constantine. In the first hundred years of the faith, it was a secret sign for Christians to identify themselves to each other and was used in catacomb art from the c. 150’s through the 350’s AD.
