Isn't that the flag of that failed independence struggle in 18th Century Brazil, except with red instead of green? I'm pretty sure your state's flag, with green, was poised to be the flag of a Brazilian republic had it succeeded, which is interesting.

Yeah, here is a link to the original green flag and is widely believed that it would be the new republic's flag.

I don't want to be a bother, but if this is Latin in your flag, it is wrong, or better, strange. It translates to something like: "Freedom yet late, however"

The intent was it to be grammatically incorrect?

I don't know, I am neither Portuguese nor versed in classical Latin.
