>> Numeric Palindromes are relatively easy.

and mere single dimensional text ones likewise.

Let's go to two dimensions:

                R O T A S
                O P E R A
                T E N E T
                A R E P O
                S A T O R

Latin: 'Arepo the sower works to turn the wheel' (grinding his corn?)

Possible early Christian associations have been seen in it, as it is an
anagram of:

                P
                A
           A    T    O
                E
        P A T E R N O S T E R
                N
                O
           A    S    O
                T
                E
                R

(Our Father, plus Alpha and Omega (as in 'I am the Alpha and the Omega')

though it probably goes back even further than 0 AD........
