This inscription was found at low tide after a major storm in April, 2010, along the beach in Newport, RI not far from the Newport Tower, by Rhode Island resident Irene Daponte. The inscription reads, "IN HOC SIGNO VINCES," which is a Latin phrase translating to, "With this as your standard you shall have victory." The slogan has been used by various military and religious groups over the centuries, including the Knights Templar. On the back side of the stone there are other markings which we have not yet identified, but one marking appears to be a Templar cross. The stone has since been reburied in the sand by the surf, but we have marked its location and will return to study it further when weather and tidal conditions allow.

"IN HOC SIGNO VINCES"
Did any of the markings on the back side of the stone exhibit a 33:57:90 angle triangle?
There wasn't enough time to clean the stone to get a good sense of what the markings were. Obviously you have some kind of theory about this--care to share?
David: I specialize in earth/temple grids, using spiritual dynamics. I have a Zeno Chart graphic if interested, not intended for geographic use ... as a "consciousness" schematic ... same geometry used in Rosslyn, et al.
Also I can explain the so-called mysteries: use of "58" and Heads, various other matters of esoteric interest.
I'm more interested in email or skype connection rather than blog if doable, subjects can be complex.
David: RE the stone uncovered by the storm: did you find the inscription on the other side? Ostensibly the "SIGNO" would be on the reverse side of the STONE (RESH: Chief Head Stone).
"IN HOC SIGNO VINCES" was also used at Rennes le Chateau in the "Rex Mundi" symbolism: "Par Ce Signe Tu Le Vaincras" (By this sign you will conquer.)
Hi William. We haven't had a chance to uncover more of the stone yet--hopefully spring is here to stay and we can dive in soon...
Interesting comment re Rennes le Chateau.

David, I just saw this entry. Pretty exciting. Have you had a chance yet to return? Is there a Templar cross on the other side?
Charlie:
We have returned to examine the back side, but the carvings are too faded to be definitive about what they may be. It looks like there could be a Templar cross there, but again it is impossible to say for certain. We have also ascertained from some abutters that the carving is at least 60 years old and was considered "very old" even back circa 1950.
What has become of this stone? Any new news?
Karla, the stone is still there, usually covered by sand. Not sure what more we can do to study it. Scott Wolter brought a portable microscope to examine it but he was unable to reach a firm conclusion.
Dave: FYI re the "Sign by Which You Will Conquer" on the Rex Mundi statue at the Magdalene Chapel at Rennes le Chateau. Fr Boudet designed it all to show that 'the Sign' is not the Latin Cross, it's the letters Teyth and Tsadey using Prosiniatic Hebrew picture glyphs which together are the "Stem and Blossom" dynamic, a powerful stellar streaming among other things. The glyphs are duplicated by the 4 angels in that group, with the circle with cross is above that. Most recently used by the Essenes and Templars, then Masonic inner-groups... Ascension or Advent connected. Present Light-Groups can use it. Complex, can discuss it: phone or email.
Bill, thanks for your comment. I tried Googling some of these terms and hit a dead end. Can you maybe email me so links?
dsbrody@comcast.net . Thanks.

HI, Constantine saw a vision of a cross in the sky with "IN HOC SIGNO VINCES" written on it. This caused him to convert to Christianity. With that in mind and knowing that during, if my memory serve me correctly, in the 1600s or 1700s a minister carved several stones along the shores of Newport with things of religious context, I would think this must be another of his works. Would it be possible for you to reveal the location of the stone. I can provide you with the information concerning the location of the others I mentioned.

Michael, I had never heard that a minister carved stones in Newport with religious writings. I will private message you with more info.
The stone is still there in its prime and glory. I discovered this stone while launching my kayak to do some fishing in 2014. As the tides dropped I uncovered the sand andthe whole phrase appeared. Pretty cool, and maybe another knights templar clue.Looks extremely old but I am not a foresic scientist either. Haha.
Glad to hear it, Dennis! I last visited December, 2016. That must have been very cool to discover it!
S W seems to prefer to ignore the scientific method. Instead of seeing where evidence leads, he prefers to make his interpretation of evidence fit his theories. Not very credible methodology in the scientific world.
My wife and I found the stone on December 13, 2024. It was amazing to see it in person
