The ubiquitous Welsh Dragon
at left is the national symbol of Wales. This particular image appears
on the flag of Wales and is derived from an ancient standard of the
Tudor family, which is in turn derived from the ‘Draco’ standard of the
Roman Legion. Although attempts have been made to link the dragon with Arthurian tales of Merlin and his prophetic vision of battling dragons- red for Wales and white for England- the emblem has been in use in Wales for at least twelve hundred years.
