Abstract: Given an abstract polytope $calP$, its flag graph is the edge-coloured graph whose vertices are the flags of $calP$ and the $i$-edges correspond to $i$-adjacent flags. Flag graphs of polytopes are maniplexes. On the other hand, given a maniplex $calM$, on can define a poset $cal{P}_M$ by means of the non empty intersection of its faces. In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions (in terms of graphs) on a maniplex $calM$ in order for $cal{P}_M$ to be an abstract polytope. Moreover, in such case, we show that $calM$ is isomorphic to the flag graph of $cal{P}_M$. This in turn gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a maniplex to be (isomorphic to) the flag graph of a polytope.
