International Roman Numeral Maritime Signal Flags


Roman Numerals have a special place in modern society.  This ancient numerology of the West has traveled East and is truly an International System of Symbols.  As a consequence, there are now International Maritime Signal flags for this long honored classical system of symbols.

The design of the flags are based upon forlorn signals flags, that were used by the nations born in the after wake of the Rome Empire.  Most of these flags are derived from vexilloids conceived in the Austria-Hungarian Empire, the Keigsmarine, French Empires, United Kingdom and the United States.  Thus these new international maritime flags pay tribute to all their sacrifices, efforts, and most importantly, higher good.  All these nations are 'Children of the Roman Alphabet' and are dominantly tilted towards Western-Roman Astrology, than Eastern-Chinese Astrology.

Some of the flags are based upon permutations of the single, double, and triplet of the letter combinations.  Note that some Roman Numerals are solo indicators: L, V, and D.  However I, X, and M are clonal indicators, since they can form pairs and triplets.  Also included are Roman fractional symbols that were indicated by 'decimal' points or 'periods.'  Although modern math proclivities prefer reduced fractions, the fractions are kept in 'concordant denominations' so the Roman Fractional Decimals can be more easily understood.  Unfortunately, the fractional symbols are not taught in schools and it may be revelation that S represents "half."
