Question Are there any specific symbols for "strengh and honor" in the Latin context?
Answer Hello,
In Roman times there was no specific symbol for “Virtus et Honor” (Strenght and Honor) which were the ideal of the ancient Roman legionaries and citizens.
There was however an acronym carried on battle standards by the Roman Legions: it was SPQR, Senatus PopulusQue Romanus, meaning "The Senate and the People of Rome”, i.e. “In the name of the senate and the people of Rome”.
Moreover each legion had a name and a symbol, which however had nothing to do with “Strength and Honor”.
For example the name of the “Legio II” was:
“Legio II Adiutrix Pia Fidelis “(helper faithful and loyal), while its symbols were a Capricorn and Pegasus.
