By this sign, Constantine
The vision, the Cross, and the tradition the Order carries today.
Origins
The Emperor and the Cross
The Order traces its symbolism to the Emperor Constantine and the vision that led him to adopt the Cross.
Its Conclaves continue that tradition today, meeting under the Grand Imperial Conclave. The seal shows a double-headed eagle, the I·H·S cross, and the mottoes Fidelitas, Unitas and Et Fervor.
The bronze statue of Constantine, seated with his sword, is the image most closely tied to the Order's story and to the Division's public presence.
In hoc signo vinces
