PALMAM QUI MERUIT FERAT
Which can be loosely translated from the Latin as “let whoever earns the palm bear it. ” The expression reflects the broad significance of palms, palm fronds and other branches of foliage as symbols of triumph, victory, ascension and regeneration in ancient times, and in particular may allude to the Roman custom of giving the victorious gladiator a palm branch as reward for prowess.
