The Solothurn flag (German: Flagge von Solothurn; French: Drapeau de Soleure) is a simple square flag consisting of two horizontal equal stripes of red and white. The colors are thought to come from the ancient Roman Thebes Legion flag, which was slaughtered in Helvetia in 302. Solothurn, also known as the Canton of Soleure, is a Swiss canton in northwestern Switzerland. Its capital is Solothurn; its population is about 273,194 (2019); and its area is 790 km².
