You most likely mean SPQR. Heres the meaning..S.P.Q.R. is an initialism in Latin that was emblazoned on the standards of the Roman legions and was used by the Roman republic and the Roman empire. It currently appears in the modern coat of arms of the city of Rome, as well as on many of the city's civic buildings and manhole covers. The latter were originally placed by order of Mussolini, who frequently used SPQR as propaganda for his regime.
The initialism itself is subject to ongoing debate, with divergent phrases and translations offered as explanations. Like any translation, initialisms are of debatable value and accuracy, as the meanings of words are subject to both change and complexity. Its meaning was probably of archaic origin even during ancient Roman times.

Senatus Populusque Romanus, the senate and the people of Rome. If you look on the metal drain covers (man hole covers) in the city if Rome it is used on them even today!
