Engraved Inscription on Handle:
“By This Sign Conquer.”
This phrase refers to Emperor Constantine the Great's famous vision before the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312 AD. According to Christian tradition, Constantine saw a cross of light in the sky above the sun with the words "In hoc signo vinces" (Latin for "By this sign, conquer"). That night, Christ appeared to him in a dream, instructing him to use the sign of the cross for protection. After his victory, Constantine attributed his success to the Christian God.
