Isopleuron
A triangle of triangles; equilateral triangles to be exact! The ancient Greek mathematician Euclid was the first person to describe triangles, they appear on the very first page of his treatise Elements – he states:
Of trilateral figures, an isopleuron (equilateral) triange is that which has its three sides equal. Euclid, Elements, 1.def.20
