To ancient history and/or film buffs (there aren't really any Latin buffs anymore, are there?), S.P.Q.A. will be recognized as a play on S.P.Q.R. or "SENATUS POPULUS QUE ROMANUS" signifying a council of elder leaders and a nation of people called Rome.

As an acronym, it was a common design element in ancient Roman imperial decoration to remind the POPULUS and its SENATUS that the POPULUS (the tax paying business class) had a stake and a voice in ROMANUS and, so, involvement in the course of their lives.

It almost certainly was intended to remind all others that they did not, could not, should not and, if it took a centurion to drive the point home, so to speak, would not so don't ask.
