[Avodah] national flag???

[Zev Sero]

It turns out that I was mistaken about this.  While free-flying flags
as we know them today were a medieval invention, cloths with devices on
them were used, in addition to standards, at least as far back as
Alexander the Great, and it's thus possible that they go even farther
back.   What I was thinking of was the modern system of hereditary
heraldry, which didn't appear until the 12th or 13th century.
