It was a Roman colony, named Apulum; before that it was a Dacian city named Apoulon, described by Ptolemy. In the 9th century A.D. its name was Balgrad, the 'White City', which was latinized into Alba Julia.

This flag couldn't used 1918-1920 - I think. 1918-1920 Alba Iulia was under Romanian occupation and de facto Romania annexed the territory. The flag could be used before 1918, till Alba Iulia (originaly Bălgrad, in official Hungarian Gyulafehérvár) was in Hungary.
