Virginia State Flag - Official Design, Symbolism, and History #302154 (License: Personal Use)

The Virginia state flag consists of a deep blue field bearing the state seal in the center. The seal shows the Roman goddess Virtus, representing virtue and liberty, standing triumphantly over a defeated tyrant (symbolizing British rule), holding a spear and a sheathed sword, with the Latin motto “Sic Semper Tyrannis” (“Thus Always to Tyrants”) encircling the scene. The flag was officially adopted in 1881 and reflects Virginia’s revolutionary heritage and commitment to republican ideals.
