The Roman Empire Pride Flag is a modern, alt-historical reinterpretation of Roman state symbolism combined with the contemporary rainbow pride flag. The design features a horizontal rainbow field, traditionally associated with LGBTQ+ pride and diversity, over which a red circular medallion is placed at the center. Within this medallion appears a gold Roman eagle (aquila) standing atop a fasces, encircled by a laurel wreath, with the inscription SPQR (Senatus Populusque Romanus) displayed beneath. The classical Roman iconography reflects authority, civic unity, and military power, while the rainbow background recontextualizes these symbols to emphasize inclusivity and pluralism within a historical aesthetic.

The flag does not originate from ancient Roman usage but instead emerged in the 21st century as part of a broader cultural trend within historical and alt-historical communities. It represents a concerted effort to make historical and alternative history spaces more inclusive, often through the creation of satirical or symbolic pride variants of well-known historical flags. Similar examples include pride adaptations of imperial, national, or dynastic banners, such as the Austria-Hungary pride flag. These designs are commonly shared in academic satire, digital art, reenactment circles, and online history communities, where they function both as commentary on historical symbolism and as a statement advocating broader representation within traditionally exclusionary narratives of the past.
