SPQR was something of a signature of the Roman Republic and later 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, so even in today the phrase can be seen at many places including on manhole covers.
