SPQR was something of a signature of the Roman Republic and later the Roman Empire. The acronym itself stands for the Latin Senatus Populusque Romanorum, meaning "the senate and people of Rome." It is part of the crest of the city of Rome. Today the phrase can be seen on many structures within the city, including manhole covers.
