If you are referring to the Roman Empire - there was not a flag for Rome per se, since flags as we understand them were not used in ancient times.
The ancient Romans did however use a number of special symbols to distinguish themselves. In particular their banners would read SPQR, which stands for Senatus Populusque Romanus, or "The Senate and the People of Rome". These symbols would on the top of poles held by legionaries.
Roman legions also carried special golden symbols called aquilae (eagles). These were considered sacred, much in the same way that an army unit thinks about its colours or the national flag today. A regiment would fight to defend its eagle and losing its eagle during battle was considered to be a humiliating disaster for Rome.
The Romans also stitched emblems and names of military units into cloth and hung them from poles, but these were not true flags as they hung vertically. They were closer to banners. They would have images of eagles or other animals on them, or sometimes SPQR, or sometimes the name of the military unit.
