How should I view this flag of ancient Rome?
While the flags of many countries represent a part of their history, a significant event or the character of its people, the flag of ancient Rome is somewhat different.
It is in reality above all a war standard, which floated more often above battlefields than official buildings.
When we know the military and imperialist character of the Romans, this does not really surprise us!
The mythical acronym that we can find on this flag, “SPQR” for “Senatus Populusque Romanus”, is undoubtedly one of the best-known cultural elements of Roman civilization.
His translation, “The Senate and the People of Rome” described what the legionnaires gave their lives for …
The colors of this lucky standard also have a particular meaning: burgundy is a great symbol of power while gold represents money. More than simply carrying meaning, these strong colors catch the eye and evoke in us ideas of grandeur and power.
The proud eagle that we also see there only adds to the warlike and solemn character of the flag of ancient Rome. This bird of prey indeed exhibits qualities of courage, tenacity and glory which make it an ideal military emblem.
It is clear: seeing this standard flying above the battlefields must have given hope to the Roman soldiers.
And you, does he inspire you too?
