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.
