Do you know which translation into English of the Ancient Roman symbol (Initials) SPQR is correct?







.. .
r Roman Senate and People of Rome
r Superior Roman People and Quaestor of Rome
r Senate and Prefect and Quaestor of Rome
r Son of the People and Quaestor of Rome


Answer:

The initials SPQR is the Latin phrase “Senatus Populusque Romanus.” Translated into English it means: “Roman Senate and People of Rome.” The phrase refers to the government of the ancient Roman Republic and remains today the official emblem of the modern-day Rome.
