Evidence suggests that the Roman cavalry may have used Flags as early as Ordovices-Silures war in 61 CE.However, there is no record of an official Roman flag until the time of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great who adopted the Labarum as the official state flag of the Roman Empire. The flag remained unchanged until the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 CE.<\/p>\n

There is no definitive answer to this question. While it is possible that ancient Rome had a flag, there is no direct evidence to support this claim.<\/p>\n

What was ancient Rome symbol? <\/h2>\n

An aquila was a prominent symbol used in ancient Rome. It was the standard of a Roman legion. A legionary known as an aquilifer, the “eagle-bearer”, carried this standard. Each legion carried one eagle.<\/p>\n

The flag of the Holy Roman Empire was not a national flag, but rather an imperial banner used by the Holy Roman Emperor. The colours of the imperial banner were black and gold, and it featured a black eagle on a golden background. After the late 13th or early 14th century, the claws and beak of the eagle were coloured red.<\/p>\n
