Evidence for the optio staff includes the tombstone Caecilius Avitus of Legio XX.

I'm pretty sure there are a few other tombstones or funerary markers of optiones that depict the knobbed staff, as well as a tesserarius with one. Is the tombstone database still down? Perhaps Jasper could confirm this.
