The svastikas composed of four small squares ([Figure: 𑁍]) and the archaic cross type ([Figure: 卍]) are found on old Greek coins and as an ornamental device on early Greek pottery in Samos, Cyprus, and Hissarlik. It is also to be found on early Latin, Etruscan, and Sicilian ornaments, coins, and pottery, as well as in Asia Minor and North Africa, especially where there had been Phoenician colonies. It is hardly to be found on Egyptian, Babylonian or Assyrian remains.
