Latin is associated with ancient Rome, commonly referred to as SPQR (Senatus Populusque Romanus), which was its government.

The flag of the SPQR resembles: SPQR standard (image from Wikipedia) Also: SPQR flag (image from Wikimedia Commons)

A website named "Duolingo" uses the following flag: image (from this CDN link)

Overall, the flag can be described as two golden wheat spikes encircling the golden letters "SPQR" in a serif font on a red background.

I have no idea where the current flag (red background with the character æ) comes from. This character is not unique to Latin and is used today in many nordic languages (Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic, etc.)

Done! 🚀 https://github.com/HatScripts/circle-flags/commit/9c65023ebe9b57e90609efb871b7ee7e09a2d5c3

Please let me know what you think. I decided to forgo the "SPQR" text.

P.S. You said sans-serif font when I think you meant serif.

I suppose you were asking @williamd5 directly, but if you'd allow me the intrusion, I think the leaves should all be rotated a bit more inwards so that the inner leaves don't "bunch up" as much against each other, and so that each pair appears (visually; perhaps they already do mathematically) to be aligned with the tangent of the arc where they touch it.

Correct. Not sure how I made that mistake.

I agree with @waldyrious' comment. Perhaps it might also look a bit better if the tip is a singular leaf/grain and also if the leaves/grains are a bit bigger compared to the width stem.

@waldyrious @williamd5 Thanks for your feedback. I've rotated the inner leaves by 15° so that they don't look so "bunched up". Please let me know what you think. 🙂

Nice, looks better indeed :) For future reference, the relevant commit is https://github.com/HatScripts/circle-flags/commit/4d4d470b37e87513c45d356eb38fac672a3a6d90.
