Heads facing the opposite symbolize the past and the future. Right upper corner: decorated with a check pattern that refers to wisdom and prudence. Left bottom corner: features three flowers on a Gold ribbon. They hide three values determining a strong and independent nation - unity, integrity and freedom. Right bottom corner: depicts a Wild Boar. A very popular and respectful animal in Roman Empire, which is a symbol of mightiness and power. At least three famous Roman legions are known to have had a boar as their emblem: Legio I Italica, Legio X Fretensis and Legio XX Valeria Victrix.
