Home > Flag of Virginia

 
The flag of Virginia consists of the state seal on a background of blue. The current version of the flag was adopted at the beginning of the American Civil War in 1861.

The Latin motto, " SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS", at the bottom of the state seal means "Thus Always to Tyrants." The woman is " Virtus the genius of the Commonwealth, dressed as an Amazon" (Code of Virginia § 7.1-26) and represents Virginia. The prostrate man represents tyranny.

The flag of Virginia is the only American flag with nudity.
