It was essentially a reference to the deployment of space as figures the Trier Cross as in numerous coats of arms in the region and a stylized map of the river courses of the Rhine , Mosel and Lahn , and two crossed swords symbolizing the army similar to the insignia of the shield and Mountain cap .
