(Vexillas,--as they are called, p. 399.)
It is very curious to note how certain ideas are inherited from the earliest Fathers, and travel down, as here, to find a new expression in a distant age. Here our author reflects Justin Martyr, [3190] and the Labarum [3191] itself is the outcrop of what Justin wrote to Antoninus Pius.
