One of the most well-known symbols of Lucrecia are the [[Arces of Emerita]], three forts that date back to the early years of the Emeritan Republic and are located on the island of Emerita's hill range. The most famous of the three forts is ''[[Vieto Retenor]]'' (Old Retainer). First built in the 2nd Century BC, its current form was not built until during the years of Caphiric suzerainty in the mid-10th Century; it houses a museum to honour the nation's history. ''[[Torres Sacilla]]'' (Chapel Tower), so-called due to its accompanying chapel within the fort, was built initially as a temple for the Latinic faith before being converted into a chapel upon the introduction of Christianity to Lucrecia; its modern form was built in the 12th Century and it currently serves as a monastery, having been converted into one in 1293.

''[[Il Eremitaño]]'' (The Hermit) is the smallest of the three forts and is currently a private residence owned by Isurian billionaire [[Iago Castro]]; the current tower was built in the 16th Century as part of an attempt to scare the inhabitants of the then-independent Isurian Generality that an invasion from the mainland was imminent. All three forts are depicted in the nation's coat of arms. | ||
Another well-known symbol of Lucrecia is the {{wp|Civic Crown}}, a representation of one of the nation's highest civilian honours, that being the [[Order of the Old Liberty]], is an ancient symbol that has existed since the Classical Era. Originally a {{wp|military decoration}} given to Emeritans who saved the lives of fellow Emeritan citizens, the civic crown became the headpiece for members of the Order when it was first established with its first member being [[Marcia Heroina Reipublicae]], an elderly woman who was said to have thwarted an attempted conspiracy to subvert the republic and transform it into a hereditary monarchy; the leader of the conspirators was exiled alongside his family and was subsequently condemned to {{wp|damnatio memoriae}}. | Another well-known symbol of Lucrecia is the {{wp|Civic Crown}}, a representation of one of the nation's highest civilian honours, that being the [[Order of the Old Liberty]], is an ancient symbol that has existed since the Classical Era.
