SPQR

SPQR stands for "Senatus Populusque Romanus," which translates to "The Senate and the People of Rome." It was a symbol of the Roman Republic and later the Roman Empire, representing the combined authority of Roman's governing body (the Senate) and its citizens. SPQR was used on official documents, military standards, and building inscriptions to signify the power and unity of the Roman state, emphasizing that governance was shared between its leaders and the populace. It remains a historic emblem of Roman political identity and civic pride.
