This enamel "SPQR" badge is made of gold coloured metal with red enamel details. It comes as a badge with a safety pin and a separate safety pin. The Roman eagle that would be placed on the standard has the inscription SPQR (Senate and People of Rome) engraved on the base. The badge is mounted on an information card which has a Roman flag on the front and a decorative design on the sides. On the reverse side, the card describes the origins of Rome.
Rome was originally a small city on the banks of the Tiber River in western Italy. Although its early development was mainly related to trade, it was wars that made Rome a powerful force in the ancient world. The Roman army first fought against neighbouring tribes and Etruscan cities in Italy, later dominating the Mediterranean region and, at the height of its power, the provinces of Britannia and Asia Minor.
Roman laws, roads, architecture, coins, clothing and jewellery spread with these conquests.
