The tryzup is today the small national emblem of Ukraine. However, the historical roots of the Ukrainian trident go much further, as the first historical evidence dates back to the time of the Rus, who used the trident as a symbol on coins and rulers' signs, so-called tamgas, from around 1000 AD.
There are many legends about the meaning of the Ukrainian trident, but it is assumed that it is of Tartar origin and was used on the tamgas of the Rurikid dynasty in the early Middle Ages as a symbol of power.
