Flag Of Cantabria
The flag of the Spanish region of Cantabria is made up of two horizontal stripes of equal width, white on the top and red on the bottom, and the region's coat of arms in its centre. The design is established in the text of the Autonomy Statute, except for the coat of arms, which was established by a Law of the Regional Assembly approved on 30 December 1981. The design traces its lineage to the ship registration flag of the maritime province of Santander, assigned by Royal Order on 30 July 1845. In 2016, the Parliament of Cantabria also recognized the Cantabrian labarum as a symbol of the Cantabrian people, urging the institutions and civil society of Cantabria to promote its use. Most townships have already accepted the proposition of using said flag placing it on the balcony of the Town Hall.

Flag
A flag is a piece of textile, fabric (most often rectangular) with distinctive colours and design. It is used as a symbol, a signalling device, or for decoration. The term ''flag'' is also used to refer to the graphic design employed, and flags have evolved into a general tool for rudimentary signalling and identification, especially in environments where communication is challenging (such as the Maritime flag, maritime environment, where Flag semaphore, semaphore is used). Many flags fall into groups of similar designs called flag families. The study of flags is known as "vexillology" from the Latin , meaning "flag" or "banner".

Autonomous Community
The autonomous communities () are the first-level administrative divisions of Spain, created in accordance with the Spanish Constitution of 1978, with the aim of guaranteeing limited autonomy to the nationalities and regions that make up Spain. There are 17 autonomous communities and two autonomous cities (Ceuta and Melilla) that are collectively known as "autonomies". The two autonomous cities have the right to become autonomous communities. The autonomous communities exercise their right to self-government within the limits set forth in the constitution and organic laws known as Statutes of Autonomy, which broadly define the powers that they assume. Each statute sets out the devolved powers () for each community; typically those communities with stronger local nationalism have more powers, and this type of devolution has been called ''asymmetrical'' which is on the whole seen as advantageous, able to respond to diversity.

Cantabrian Labarum
The Cantabrian labarum ( Cantabrian: ''lábaru cántabru'' or ) is a modern interpretation of the ancient military standard known by the Romans as '' Cantabrum''. It consists of a purple cloth on which there is what would be called in heraldry a "saltire voided" made up of curved lines, with knobs at the end of each line. The name and design of the flag is in the theory advocated by several authors of a relationship between the genesis of labarum and the military standard called ''Cantabrum'', thereby identifying both as a same thing; and the alleged relationship the Codex Theodosianus established between the ''Labarum'' and the Cantabrarii, the school of Roman soldiers in charge of carrying the ''Cantabrum''. Additionally, and according to the definition of the Royal Academy of the Spanish language, labarum is the Roman standard (as in military ceremonial flag) on which, under Emperor Constantine's rule, the cross and the Monogram of Christ (Chi-Rho) was drawn.
