Medallion of Peter and Paul
Abstract
Similarly, the Christians venerated their leaders in the faith, particularly apostles and martyrs, and struck similar bronze medals, not for the purposes of idolatry, but as Lycomedes protested in the Apocryphal Acts of John, for the purposes of honor and respect. Bronze medallion of the apostles. Note the ☧ (Chi Rho) in the upper center, Museo Vaticano.
