 On the obverse side of the hilt , the pommel bears a large stylized letter T on top of a letter C or G ( the latter could be just a decorative element of the letter T ) between the Greek letters Α and ω ( alpha and omega ) surmounted with little crosses . Below the letter T , there is another cross placed within a cloud or flower with twelve petals . On the chamfered edge around this design runs a circular Latin inscription in two rings which reads : Rec figura talet ad amorem regum / et principum iras iudicum ( " This sign rouses the love of kings and princes , the wrath of judges " ) . The grip bears the symbols of two of the Four Evangelists : the lion of Saint Mark and the ox of Saint Luke , as well as an Agnus Dei ( Lamb of God ) . The crossguard bears the following Latin inscription : Quicumque hec / nomina Deii secum tu / lerit nullum periculum / ei omnino nocebit ( " Whoever will carry these names of God with him , no danger will harm him " ) .
