The Cantabrian labarum (Cantabrian: ''lábaru cántabru'' or (スペイン語:lábaro cántabro)) is a modern interpretation of the ancient military standard known by the Romans as ''Cantabrum''. It consists of a purple cloth on which there is what would be called in heraldry a "saltire voided " made up of curved lines, with knobs at the end of each line. The name and design of the flag is in the theory advocated by several authors 〔Dictionnaire des antiquités grecques et romaines - Daremberg et Saglio 1920.〕 of a relationship between the genesis of labarum and the military standard called ''Cantabrum'', thereby identifying both as a same thing; and the alleged relationship the Codex Theodosianus established between the ''Labarum'' and the Cantabrarii, the school of Roman soldiers in charge of carrying the ''Cantabrum''. Additionally, and according to the definition of the Royal Academy of the Spanish language, labarum is the Roman standard (as in military ceremonial flag) on which, under Emperor Constantin's rule, the cross and the Monogram of Christ (XP: Chi-Rho) was drawn. By association of ideas, labarum can refer just to the monogram itself, or even just the cross. Etymologically, the word comes from ''(p)lab-'' which means ''to speak'' in a number of Celtic languages, many of which have derivatives. For example, in Welsh ''llafar'' means "speech", "language", "voice". Ancient Cornish and Breton have ''lavar'', "word", and ancient Irish has ''labrad'': "language", "speech".〔 〕 Today, certain social and political groups in modern Spanish autonomous community of Cantabria advocate the use of this ancient standard instead of the current flag. == See also == * Lauburu * Fasces * Labrys * Christian symbolism * Christogram * Labarum 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cantabrian labarum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
