Sorry, I was reading the thread and it looked like it was devolving into an argument over steppe tribes, as sometimes happens here to converstations, and not just about steppe tribes. But It read like the discussion was losing it's focus.
I'm interested in the Draco, I've always heard it referred to as a cavalry standard. However, reading this, it seems like it was more proliferated than that within the Roman Army. So I wonder how standards did a Roman carry? We know of the Vexellum, the Signum, the Aquilla, and the Imagio, now it seems like there would many dragons appearing from within the Army as well... Seems like, before long, every Roamn infantryman will be a standard bearer of some type... :-o
