Well, the trident symbolizes his power, because all three brothers ( Zeus, Posiedon, and Hades ) all have a symbol of power. For example, Hades had his Realm of Darkness, and Zeus has his Lightning Bolt.

The symbol of Poseidon's power was the trident, or a spear with three points, with which he used to shatter rocks, to call forth or subdue storms, to shake the earth, and the like.
