Late Roman Monograms (AD 400-520)

Monogram -originally a cipher consisting of a single letter, later a design or mark consisting of two or more letters intertwined. The letters thus interlaced may be either all the letters of a name or the initial letters of the given names and surname of a person for use upon note paper, seals, or elsewhere. Many of the early Greek and Roman coins bear the monograms of rulers or towns. - ENCYCLOPÆDIA BRITANNICA
