Have you consulted Gertrud Schiller, Iconography of Christian

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions
of medieval religion and culture
I've been asked to do a presentation on the history and use of the
cross in Christian culture this Sunday and thought I might query the
group about some
(somewhat last minute) resources on the use of the cross prior to the
4th Century. I seem to recall coming across some indications
that ante-Nicean Christians
used a form of the sign of the cross and may have used it in catacomb
inscriptions, etc. but thusfar have come up empty handed.
Thanks for any thoughts/suggestions.
