Colour of a Draco
#5
A surpisingly high percentage of the shield patterns in the Notitia appear to depict unit standards of one sort of another. Several of these show a draco, of which there are:

6 x Yellow (or gold, brass, etc.)
1 x Purple
1 x White (or silver)

None are illustrated as having a head differently coloured from the tail (except for one manuscript's version of the white one, where the head seems to have accidentally been coloured the same as the shield's main field: red).

Cheers, Luke
