Iesvs Nazarenvs Rex Ivdaeorvm (INRI)

Latin for: 'Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews'

Within Western Christianity, many crucifixes and other depictions of the crucifixion include a stylized plaque or parchment, called a titulus or title, bearing only the Latin letters INRI, occasionally carved directly into the cross, and usually just above the head of Jesus.
