Crux, the Southern Cross, is visible from latitudes south of 25 degrees North and completely invisible in latitudes above 35 degrees North.  Crux was unknown to the ancient world, Ptolemy drew it as part of Centaur in the original 48 constellations, The Romans called it Thronis Caesaris in honor of emperor Augustus, although Crux is invisible in Italy, it was visible from Alexandaria.  5 countries; Australia , Brazil , New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Samoa feature the Southern Cross on their flags. Another interesting sidelight is that the last time Crux was seen in Jerusalem (latitude 31 degrees, 46 minutes, and 45 seconds)  was about the time Jesus  was crucified.
