The Romans were the first of many to invade Belgium. In fact, the country’s name even harks back to these times â€" Julius Caesar mentioned the Belgae during his conquest of Gaul, and when the nation needed a name following independence, the word ‘Belgium’ was born. Caesar’s armies invaded in 57 BC and held Gallia Belgica for 500 years. There’s little to show of their presence, except for the town of Tongeren in the province of Limburg.
Colors for the Belgian flag were taken from the flag of Brabant, which was a province in what was called the Low Countries. The flag of Brabant was a golden or yellow lion and was displayed on a black surface. The tongue and nails of the lion were red. It also featured the arms of the Kingdom of Belgium.
The black-yellow-red tricolor was Édouard Ducpétiaux and Lucien Jotrand the first 26th August 1830 to fly at the town hall of Brussels. The official recognition of the provisional government in January it. Here, the vertical arrangement was decided.
The colors of the Duchy of Brabant were transferred to the Belgian flag, the vertical arrangement of the strip is based on the flag of France. The similar color scheme with the black-red-gold flag of Germany is purely coincidental.
The flag's vibrant colors of black, yellow, and red stand for freedom and revolution. The left or hoist side of the flag of Belgium has a stripe in black, the center stripe is yellow, and the right side stripe is red.
This symbolic horizontally banded flag was carried during this revolt as an important symbol of why they fought - for independence. Flag Company Inc decided to assist with the history development by providing special decals and banners to make it easy to build a bit of history right at home.
