===Origin/meaning===
===Origin/meaning===
I have no information on the meaning or origin of these arms.
 
The arms of Athlone date back to a seal as early as 1663. However, there is no record of them ever being granted, therefore they have been used unofficially. The two roses and the lion passant guardant are most likely English symbols. The motto “Urbes stant legibus” is Latin for “A city stands by its laws.
