Romania's coat of arms
has as a central element the golden eagle with cross.
Traditionally, this eagle appears in the arms of the Arges county,
the town of Pitesti and the town of Curtea de Arges. It stands for
the "nest of the Basarabs," the nucleus around which Wallachia,
was organised, the
province that determined the historical fate of the whole Romania.
The eagle, being the symbol of Latinity and a heraldic bird of the
first order, symbolises courage, determination, the soaring toward
great heights, power, grandeur. It is to be found also in
Transylvania's coat of arms. The shield on
which it is placed is azure, symbolising the sky. The eagle holds
in its talons the insignia of sovereignty: a sceptre and a saber,
the latter reminding of Moldavia's ruler, Stephen the Great
(1456-1504), also called "Christ's athlete" whereas the sceptre
reminds of Michael the Brave (1593-1601), the first unifier of the
Romanian Countries. On the bird's chest there is a quartered
escutcheon with the symbols of the historical Romanian provinces (Wallachia,
Moldavia, Transylvania, Banat and Crisana) as well as two dolphins
reminding of the country's Black Sea Coast. In the first quarter
there is again Wallachia's coat of arms on azure: an eagle or
holding in its
beak a golden Orthodox cross, accompanied by a golden sun on the
right and a golden new moon on the left. In the second quarter
there is Moldavia's traditional coat of arms, gules: an auroch
head sable with a mullet of or between its horns, a cinquefoil
rose on the dexter and a waning crescent on
the sinister, both argent. The third quarter features the
traditional coat of arms of Banat and Oltenia, gules: over
waves, a golden bridge with two arched openings (symbolising Roman
emperor Trajan's bridge over the Danube), wherefrom comes a golden
lion holding a broadsword in its right forepaw. The fourth quarter
shows the coat of arms of Transylvania with Maramures and Crisana:
a shield parted by a narrow fesse, gules; in the chief, on azure,
there is an eagle sable with golden beak coming out of the fesse,
accompanied by a golden sun on the dexter and a crescent argent on
the sinister; on the base, on or, there are seven crenellated
towers, placed four and three. Also represented are the lands
adjacent to the Black Sea, on azure: two dolphins affronts, head
down
russia Russian national flags normally used in Russia range from
the lightest to the darkest shade (like from argentina blue to
british blue), even if in russian light blue is considered a
separate color. There are for sure official regulations about the
precise shade to be used in national flags
used by the government, presidency, armed forces, etc. - but until
now I could not find them. All laws state simply "blue" ("sinii~").
