Draconarii. I'd gathered there were two, one for each cohort. But that these were secondary "signa". That is, there was a vexillum representing the legion. Is that correct? I'm assuming Eagles and old-style signa disappeared about the same period other distinguishing marks of the erstwhile legions did.
Enjoying this thread.
I read somewhere (sorry no source available :oops: ) that later period roman/byzantine standards were in a text described as "eagles"
I took this to mean that at least some standards looked similar to the ancient standards
or perhaps it was a pretty kenning????????.
