Also known as the Cross of Nero. Many people are not aware of the origins of this symbol or how it became to symbolize peace.
The Nero's cross has also been recognized as a "mockery" of christianity, as it is thought to represent a broken, upside down cross, within a circle representing "Nero's vision".
It is thought that Nero believed that the destruction of Christianity and all Christians would bring peace, thousands of Christians were martyred under the rule of Nero.
This is what the "peace symbol" represents regardless of what it means to you.
Also know as "The Dead Man Rune". It appears on the tombstones of some of Hitler's SS troops.
It has even been rumored that the proliferation of the sign was on-part due to a Soviet conspiracy to encourage the sign which had a hidden anti-christian design.
