The Chi Rho - one of the world's oldest Christograms

The ancient Roman ring used to make this seal bears the Chi Rho,an early Christogram comprised of the superimposed Greek Chi (X) and Rho (P), the first two letters of the Greek word for Christ. Images related to Christianity began to emerge in the Roman empire as early as the 200s AD, and this image is no exception. Dating to approximately 350 AD, it is one of he earliest expressions of the "new" Christian faith that would become the Christianity we know today.

Your Chi Rho Seal:

• Metal: .999 Fine Silver
• Sealing Device Date: Circa 350 AD
• Sealing Device Discovery: England
• Special Note: The ancient Roman Empire ring I use to make this wax seal jewelry wad discovered by a friend and metal detectorist who hunts his home county of Yorkshire. Once custom-created for a Roman citizen, we have no way of knowing where it was crafted, but it traveled to England before its ultimate loss and rediscovery. It is solid and wearable to this day!
