The right side of the arms shows the armoured arm of Viriato, a local hero, born in Sayago, who fought against 8 Roman consuls trying to conquer the area. Hence the banner shows 8 red bars, one for each consul he defeated. The green bar symbolises the victory of the people of Zamora with King Ferdinand against the Portugese. | The right side of the arms shows the armoured arm of Viriato, a local hero, born in Sayago, who fought against 8 Roman consuls trying to conquer the area.
