SPQR

SPQR is an initialism of a Latin phrase Senātus Populusque Rōmānus ("The Roman Senate and People"; ), referring to the government of the ancient Roman Republic, and used as an official emblem of the modern-day comune ( municipality) of Rome. It appears on Roman currency, at the end of documents made public by inscription in stone or metal, in dedications of monuments and public works, and was emblazoned on the vexilloids of the Roman legions.

The phrase commonly appears in Roman political, legal and historical literature, including the speeches of Cicero and Ab Urbe Condita Libri ("Books from the Founding of the City") of Livy.
