A Chi-Rho with Alpha and Omega has been discovered on preserved flesh from a burial at the Medieval Christian site Ghazali in Africa. It’s thought to be early Medieval, when the Chi-Rho was a popular Christian symbol: the earliest accounts of King Arthur have him using one on his shield, not the Crusader crosses that became popular centuries later and are more commonly pictured in Arthurian art.

Interesting note about Arthur using the Chi-Rho. That makes more sense.
