[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#15259) Ancient flags

["Daniel Markstedt" <himasaram@xxxxxxxx>]

<URL: http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=15259 >

Here are new flags for several 'old' nations that hopefully will
represent them better.

Arab flag is using common crescent and star symbols, and is meant to be
a simplification of the flag of the Arab League
(http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/int-las.html ). I took bits and
pieces of other similar flags to create it.

Gaul flag is a "Celtic triple
spiral" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_spiral) with the colors of
the old French kingdom. Triple spiral clipart from OCAL.

Babylon flag is depicting the "Lion of Ishtar" often seen on murals in
ancient Babylon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishtar ). Plotted by
myself using photos of said murals as model.

Viking is the "Raven war
banner" (http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/xn_raven.html ) plotted by
myself using an image by Dave Martucci (from link above) as model.


Thoughts?
