A trident is basically a 3-tined pitchfork, usually though not always the tines are fluked, i.e. end in an arrowhead. The two outer tines may also be slightly s-curved and slightly longer than the central tine. It was the implement carried by Poseidon (Greek, Neptune = Roman) and also, traditionally by the devil.

A trident is 560 feet long and 42 feet in diameter.
They are black on the top and a reddish brown color on the bottom to help deter rust. The black paint makes it less visible from above.

A trident is a long, three-pronged fork or weapon, especially a three-pronged spear used for fishing.
Here's a link to a good photo of a trident:

It's a giant, three-bladed fork. Poseidon holds it in most images you see of him ...
