Why is SPQR everywhere in Rome?
Why is SPQR everywhere in Rome? Upon the triumphal arches, the altars, and the coins of Rome, SPQR stood for Senatus Populusque Romanus (the Senate and the Roman people). In antiquity, it was a shorthand means of signifying the entirety of the Roman state by referencing its two component parts: Rome's Senate and her people.
