PUB QUIZ KNOWLEDGE TIME:

The earliest known recording of the Crossbones symbol was by the Ancient Greeks, c. 1,000 BC to c. 300 BC. We know, old as. 

During the Middle Ages, the symbol was used in Christian art to represent the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

Then in 1300s the bubonic plague ravaged Europe & to warn others of the danger; plague doctors would wear a mask. This had a beak-shaped nose filled with herbs & spices to protect themselves from the disease & often adorned with the symbol.

Following on, around 13thC-17thC early alchemists’ many experiments were dangerous & potentially deadly so to warn people of the hazards of their work, alchemists would mark their experiments & laboratory equipment with the symbol.

Going into the Golden Age of Piracy in the 17th & 18th centuries the Crossbones symbol became most closely associated with danger and warning. Pirates would fly the Jolly Roger flag as they attacked merchant ships, sending a clear message that surrender was the only option.

 

Being equipped with such knowledge about this unmistakably iconic symbol, it can’t be surprising to learn that our Crossbones ring is worn world-wide. It’s a great addition, or start of, any BMM Collection!
