A variation of the cross of St. Anthony. The Egyptian hermit, St. Anthony,
is believed to have chased away a pack of demons with a cross of this
type.
This cross form is also known as tau cross, T-cross, Egyptian cross, and crux
commissa.
Finally, it is also called the robbers' cross, owing to the fact that
the robbers crucified next to Christ are believed to have been hung on
crosses of this shape, whereas Christ is believed to have been nailed
onto a gallows shaped like a Latin cross.
