The Virginia flag consists of a state seal in the middle of a dark blue background. The female figure, who personified the Roman virtue of Virtus, was chosen to represent the genius of the new Commonwealth. At the same time, a symbol of peace, Virginia's Virtus, shows that the war has already been won. The height-to-width ratio in the flag is 7:11, and the flag was adopted on March 28, 1912.
