Lovers of history, here is the 250th July 4th Sesquincentennial flag.
Likewise the Babylonian 250th flag is for all our cultures and nations, since their system of time lives on with our clocks that have a base 60 number system. So if you have ever wondered why there are 60 seconds in a minute, and 60 minutes in an hour, you can thank the Babylonians! They are a part of everyone's culture, they have an even wider reach than Rome since North Koreans, Chinese, Iranians, Canadians, Angolans, Serbs, Roma, and India all use the same base Babylonian 60 Sexagesimal System.
Let your Babylonian Pride fly every time you look at a watch or tell the time, thank you ancients of Iraq.
Thus is you lived, served, worked in Iraqi, this flag is for you! Just as it is for children of Abraham via Issac and Ishmael, since he is from this area and might have been familiar with this method of counting, maybe, maybe not?
Babylon is home the original tablet, long before Apple with the twinkle in Abraham's eye, although it was made out clay; it was indeed the original silicon based RAM device.
Math teachers can go wild in middle school, and teach this when they cover ancient Mesopotamia!
