Antique cigarettes cards. Wills's cigarettes (Lucky Charms). The ancient Tau cross (cross of Tau). 1923 The tau cross (Cross of Tau) is a T-shaped cross, sometimes with all three ends of the cross expanded. It is called a “tau cross” because it is shaped like the Greek letter tau, which in its upper-case form has the same appearance as Latin letter T. Another name for the same object is Saint Anthony's cross or Saint Anthony cross, a name given to it because of its association with Saint Anthony of Egypt.It is also called a crux commissa, one of the four basic types of iconographic representations of the cross.
