If you've been around the flag world a while, you've probably heard the word Vexillology floating around a few times.Vexillology is the study of flags. The word comes from “Vexillum”, a flag-like cloth used by the Romans. Not like todays flags which are flown from a flagpole or mast, the vexillum flag was suspended from a horizontal crossbar hanging from it's top side, which was attached to a spear.
The American flag was first referred to as “The Star-Spangled Banner” by Francis Scott Key in 1814 when he wrote the poem, “The Defense of Fort McHenry”. This poem later became our national anthem.
