Symbolism of Virginia Flag
The seal on the Virginia State Flag features a woman or to be more specific, the Roman goddess Virtue, who stands for the state of Virginia. She is depicted with a sword in her left hand, a spear in the right and donning the garb of an Amazon. Her left foot is on man lying on the ground. He has a scourge and a broken chain in his hands and his crown is thrown nearby on the ground. The man is Tyranny, a personification of Britain. Thus the entire scene portrays the victory of Virtue over Tyranny or in other words the defeat of the English at the hands of Virginia. Encircling the scene are green leaves and red Virginia creeper flowers.
The Virginia Flag has put in commendable effort in portraying the thought-provoking seal of the state.
