English: Heraldic flag of the Kingdom of Sicily under the House of Aragon (1243 to 1816). As coat of arms, this arrangement dates to the 14th century. Depiction of merchant ensigns of the 14th century are different, with the stripes horizontal in the lateral fields, and the eagle in the top and bottom fields.
In the Hellenistic period, the symbol became associated with the island of Sicily, appearing on coins minted under Dionysius I of Syracuse beginning in c. 382 BCE. [2] It later appears in heraldry, and, other than in the flag of Sicily, came into use in the arms and flags of the Isle of Man (known in Manx as ny tree cassyn ' the three legs '). [3]
