Coat of Arms of Romania

The Coat of Arms of Romania consists of an eagle holding a cross in its beak and a sceptre and a sword in its claws.

The shield in front of the eagle is divided in five parts, one for each historical province of Romania, with its traditional symbol:

• eagle - Wallachia - the eagle has its origin in Byzantine coat of arms, while the sun and the moon have their origin in Romanian folklore.
• aurochs - Moldavia - has its origin in the legend of the founding of Moldova
• dolphins - Dobrogea - the Short-beaked Common Dolphins live in Black Sea
• lammergeier (bearded vulture) - Transylvania - the seven towers signify the seven German cities of Siebenburgen (Siebenburgen is the German name for Transylvania, and it actually means "seven cities" in German)
• lion - Banat - the bridge signifies Trajan's bridge
