gammadion

In early Greek art the Swastika and Gammadion are everywhere, especially as embroidery on dress.

It is, therefore, in this latter region that we must look for the first home of the gammadion.

There remains, therefore, the supposition that the gammadion might have been introduced into the two countries by the same nation.

But in Persia itself the gammadion only appears as an exception on a few rare coins approaching our era.
