Though it is much debated, the cross may not have been used as a Christian symbol until the second century AD, some decades after the setting of Quo Vadis. In any case, it makes no sense that the Christian characters are secretive about the fish symbol, yet they hang crosses in their homes where anyone can see them. (And if the fish symbol was a secret, how did the pagan fortuneteller and the non-Christian chief concubine in Nero's harem know about it?)
