What other time frame in history was the star of David given to people?

The history of that star faded away as ancient Rome scattered the Jewish nation from its first base to all other parts of the Roman world. Zionist organizations, beginning about 125 years ago began to lobby major European nations such as Great Britain to allow the state of ancient Israel to once again return to a Jewish state. Finally in 1948, the UN recognized a new nation, the nation of today's Israel. The people in charge as leaders of the new Israel needed a flag, as all other nations had them as well. The old star of David became the blue and white flag of Israel.
