The IX monogramorXI monogram is a type of early Christian monogram looking like the spokes of a wheel, sometimes within a circle.[1]
The IX monogram is formed by the combination of the letter "I" or Iota for Iesous (Ιησους, Jesus in Greek) and "X" or Chi for Christos (Χριστος, Christ in Greek). The spokes can also be standalone, without the circle. These monograms can often be found as ancient burial inscriptions.[2][3]
