![]() ![]() In that piece of wood that professor Carsten Peter Thiede claims to be authentic, and is mentioned in the documentary The Quest for the True Cross (2003) (TV), the Latin and Greek titles are written from right to left. However, the person that opted for the depiction of the Inscription of the cross in that way, apparently was well informed and aware of the existence of Titulus Crucis (Latin for "Title of the Cross"), a piece of wood claimed in to be a relic of the True Cross, kept in the church of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme in Rome (Wikipedia). A few moments later the title appears again, only this time the Latin is written correctly (from left to right). A Roman soldier is shown carrying the title ahead of Him, with the Latin characters reversed (from right to left). When Christ is carrying His cross, the Latin title Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum ("Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews") is written backwards.
