Maltese Cross in Amalfi
Hello, I've been looking into the origins of the Maltese cross and have not been able to find any reliable sources prior to the 16th century. The Maltese Cross is also the symbol of Amalfi in Italy. There are some people that believe that 11th century Amalfian coins have the Maltese Cross on them, but after looking at them, I think that that is pretty far-fetched. I was curious if anyone knew when the first verified connection between Amalfi and the Cross was?
