Frosinone,
main town of Frosinone province, Latium. The coat of arms of the
city of Frosinone originates from the coat of arms of the Dukes
Cajetani. A monk of this family, Costantino Cajetani, in his
notes about the life of Gelasius II, Pope in 1118/1119, wrote
that Dukes Cajetani ruled – in the name of the Roman Church
- Frosinone, main town of the Marittima et Campagna province and
the lion on their coat of arms substituted the ancient one of the
city, formed by two javelins. The history of the monk Cajetani is
not very sure. Most ancient description of this coat of arm is in
an araldic rule of XIII century collected in State Archive of
Frosinone and at that time there was already the latin motto
“Bellator Frusino” (=Frosinone the warrior)
wrote by latin poet Silius Italicus in I° century b.C. in his
poem “Bellum Punicum” (Bellum Punicum,
XII, 530). Most ancient rapresentation of this coat of arm is in
a seal o 1588 where there was also the Keys of St. Peter but
there wasn’t the motto. In another seal of 1685 motto
appears again. Keys of St. Peter was substituted by the Imperial
Eagle during napoleonic occupation, from 1809 to 1813 and then,
definitevely, by a Crown at the fall of State of the Popes when
the city was merged into Kingdom of Italy, in 1870.
Legislation:
"Art. 2. Stemma, gonfalone, titolo di città.
Il comune di Frosinone si fregia del titolo di città; ha proprio
stemma e proprio gonfalone contraddistinti da un leone rampante
color naturale con lingua color rosso uscente dalla bocca, fondo
dello scudo color rosso, attraversato da una fascia trasversale
color azzurro con la scritta "Bellator Frusino" in oro,
corona e contorno dello scudo colore del bronzo, cinque gemme
sulla fascia della corona."
