The ancient Roman flag consisted of two colors which were a very vibrant yellow and a deep crimson red. The Romans also had a coat of arms that had 4 letters on it. It had a cross on it with the letters S, P, Q, and R aligned diagonally southeast.

In Ancient Rome they did not have flags. They had battle banners but not a national flag. The buildings though in that era had carvings on the front entrance to let people know that that building belonged to the Senate and to the people of Rome.

Its hard to be specific, as in ancient times the Romans had battle standards. The first known flag was a red one with the letters S.P.Q.R written in diagonal. During the Christian era, a cross was added before the S. The colour of the letters and the cross was light gold. s.P.Q.R. stands for Senatus PopulusQue Romanus.
