SPQR is an initialism from a Latin phrase, Senatus Populusque Romanus ("The Senate and the People of Rome"), referring to the government of the ancient Roman Republic, and used as an official signature of the government. It appears on coins, at the end of documents made public by inscription in stone or metal, in dedications of monuments and public works, and was emblazoned on the standards of the Roman legions. The phrase appears many hundreds of times in Roman political, legal and historical literature, including the speeches of Marcus Tullius Cicero and the history of Titus Livius. Since the meaning and the words never vary, except for the spelling and inflection of populus in literature, Latin dictionaries classify it as a formula.

SPQR is the motto of the city of Rome and appears in the city's coat of arms, as well as on many of the city's civic buildings, public fountains, and manhole covers.

rome total war factions?
Q. whats the difference between the 3 basic roman factions, the unlockables and the one you have to mod to be able to play as? i mean when it comes to gameplay, events and such things like the SPQR faction crashes the game if you open the senate menu.

A. Basically you can only play campaign mode using any of the 3 Roman factions, Gaul or Carthage. It's annoying that we can't get to use the other factions cos some of them have very different units like elephant and camel mounted units etc. I suppose we can only choose from one of these five cos they're in the centre of the map? Or perhaps the developers were too lazy, or had too little time to develop storylines for the other factions? But you can still use the other factions to play "Historical Battles", "Custom Battles" or "Quick Battles". And the difference between the 3 Roman factions is that they expand in different directions, The House of Julii (Red) to the north, The House of Brutii (Green) to the east and the House of Scipii (Blue [cont.]
