Very informative – the first modern military force.
On the Legions’ standard were the letters “SPQR”, standing for The Senate and People of Rome. A reminder to enemies and legionaries alike that behind the Legion was the full power of Rome.

...were the letters "SPQR"...

I had seen that many times, but didn't realize it's meaning.

Thanks for joining us at the Canteen. We are glad to have you with us!
