It was also closely linked to the distribution of the various powers was also closely linked to the state as well as the republic and in ancient times, it was an important symbol for the expression of pride or sovereignty and the abbreviation was represented in numerous different places and to this day you can see it everywhere in areas of the old Roman Empire remains of artefacts where this writing can be seen and in some areas, it came to the fact that this abbreviation was changed and adapted to certain areas or cities. The traces of the introduction can be traced back to the golden age of the ancient Roman Empire where it was widespread over the entire empire and was also immortalized on coins, flags, sculptures, buildings and other things and bring out the pride of the ancient Romans very well and it can also be considered as a symbol of a republican form of the state. The most common traces are probably found in Rome, where it still has an important importance today and people have a connection to it and in these pictures you can see statues which are supposed to represent the Roman general and statesman Sulla as well as an Republican.
