It stands for Senate and People of Rome, right? So what's the "Q" there for?

There is some Roman thing that it stood for that uses the Q, but I don't know what it is.

I believe the people of Florence (no lovers of the Romans) have their own version of SPQR. Sono porci questi Romani - They are pigs, these Romans.

Et is a Latin word for “and.” Que is a suffix added unto words to substitute for et.

Now we've got two people who managed to get the full form of SPQR right - dad_savage and Koranis.

We should add it to the Newby Faq. If I had 1 Euro for each thread about SPQR...
