Questions about life and death, about immortality have always worried people, and the skull as a dual symbol of life and death, as well as life and immortality, is an accessible symbol for various interpretations and philosophizing on these topics. In ancient Rome, a skull with bones symbolized victory over death. The skull was used by warriors during triumphant campaigns, and was always accompanied by a Latin phrase that has become a catchphrase in our time: "Memento mori", which translates from Latin as "remember that you are mortal." It was believed that the reminder of death added caution, skill and dexterity to warriors and led them to victory, and the skull protected them in battles. Warriors of ancient Rome applied the image of the skull to their clothes, and also depicted it on the body. In Slavic culture, the origin of the skull symbol has Christian roots.
