When were flags first used?
Flags or standards have been around and in use for at least 3000 years. There are biblical references to such symbols and ancient Chinese and Roman documents indicate their use. Roman Legions used the eagle as a symbol of their might and power as well as flags to direct maneuvers on the field. The colorful banners with decorative symbols that we use today probably date to the time of the Crusades and were inspired by the Arab use of pennants. Flag colors and symbols may owe their origins to the Chinese who consigned different colors with religious or philosophy.
