This modification is a simple recolor of the existing coat of arms for the Ecumenical Patriarchate.

Obviously, this mod makes sense for a Christian playthrough, particularly a Nicene, Chalcedonic Christianity (I don't know how strongly these are attested in Miaphysite or other traditions' symbology- I am not aware of any inherent Christological issues but there may be cultural ones) and not if you are going for some pagan revival. Franks, Lombards, and the various pretender claimants to the legacy of Rome would also adopt the Chi Rho in a public capacity, in a move to assert their claim of continuity with the Empire. After the disintegration of the Empire in the West, the symbol was retained in the same quasi-official capacity in the East, before becoming superceded by various tetragrammatic crosses which evolved into the iconic emblem attributed to the Palaiologos dynasty and represented in-game. In an era before national flags or heraldry, the Chi Rho (appearing with and without the Alpha and Omega) became thoroughly associated with the late Roman Empire about as closely as a symbol could be, appearing on coins, military equipment, standards, official seals, and public works, in addition to a myriad of private inscriptions and decorations. As a result, the symbols are prominently featured in Christian iconography. John the Evangelist: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end," a statement of the all-containing eternity of His existence, power, breadth, and being. In the Book of Revelation, Christ repeatedly appelates Himself in his vision to St. The Alpha (A / α) and Omega (Ω / ω) are respectively the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. The Chi Rho is famously attested from its adoption as the Labarum military standard of the Emperor Constantine. The symbol is one of the earliest known and most widespread Christograms, a type of typographic abbreviation or symbol representing Jesus. The Chi Rho (☧), or Latin " chrismon," is a symbol formed by the superimposition of the first two (capital) Greek letters of ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ (Christos, Christ) - Chi(X) and Rho (P). This modification replaces e_Roman_Empire coat of arms with a golden Chi Rho flanked by the Alpha and the Omega upon a PURPLE field. I made this simple mod for my own personal use, and chose to upload it for the benefit of others so inclined. Due to the introduction of the COA editor, this mod is no longer necessary.
