The military standard adopted by Constantine after 312. It originally consisted of a long gilded spear from which was suspended a purple banner bearing, in Greek, the inscription "in this sign thou shalt conquer." On top of the spear was the so-called monogram of Constantine which was, in reality, a symbol of the name of Christ. Fifty soldiers were entrusted with the care of the standard.
