The skull and crossbones, placed at the bottom of a crucifix (beneath Jesus' feet) represents the legend that Christ, the New Adam, who conquered sin and death, was crucified on the gravesite of the first man, Adam, who brought sin and death into the world through his disobedience to God. The skull is a symbol of Adam's grave - antique prints of the Crucifixion often show a skull at the foot of the Cross. Most important of all, the skull and bones are placed beneath Jesus' feet, to show that He triumphed over death and sin on our behalf..

Also, Christ was crucified at Golgotha which means the "Place of the Skull"
