Hello,

The black and white colour esquem is a moder convention. It's not based in any ancient depiction. In fact, it's a copy of the crest used by the optio of the Ermine Street Guard.

Never have been founded any crest block and only a possible crest (as i know). Is the one from Vindolanda.

So, we have only the metallic mounts and some reliefs depicting crests to make our reproductions.
