The IX monogram or XI monogram, is a type of early Christian monogram looking like the spokes of a wheel, sometimes within a circle.〔''Church Symbolism: An Explanation of the more Important Symbols of the Old and New Testament, the Primitive, the Mediaeval and the Modern Church by'' Frederick Roth Webber (2nd. edition, 1938). p.77 ()〕 The IX monogram is formed by the combination of the letter "I" or Iota for ''IHSOYS'' (Ιησους, Jesus in Greek) and "X" or Chi for ''XPISTOS'' (Χριστος, Christ in Greek). The spokes can also be stand-alone, without the circle. These monograms can often be found as ancient burial inscriptions.〔''Church Symbolism: An Explanation of the more Important Symbols of the Old and New Testament, the Primitive, the Mediaeval and the Modern Church by'' Frederick Roth Webber (2nd. edition, 1938). p.97 ()〕〔''Church Symbolism: An Explanation of the more Important Symbols of the Old and New Testament, the Primitive, the Mediaeval and the Modern Church by'' Frederick Roth Webber (2nd. edition, 1938). p.93 ()〕 ==See also== *Ichthys *Chi Rho *Christogram 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「IX monogram」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
