Proposed Flag for Alexandrian League
I apologize for the image, as many of you know who read this blog, I’m not a graphic artist and the image is merely a representation. Please feel free to modify the proposed flag if you have knowledge in graphic arts.
The red background comes from the historical use of a piece of red cloth, called φοινοκις (foinikis) that was hoisted to proclaim the start of battle in ancient Hellas. Originally an Athenian and Siceliote signal, it was adopted by the Macedonians and later the Romans. The Image of Alexander’s face is used to represent the shared cultural legacy of Two-horned One, and lastly the olive branch representing the peace and unity of Alexandrian Dream.
