As the topic: did legionary or auxiliarry centuries carry any standard or field sign?
And if they did, how did these look? Thanks for answering |

There was a soldier in each century with the title "signifer" I.e., "sign bearer", so one would assume there was a sign to bear. |

Interesting – I had remembered the maniple as the smallest unit to carry a standard. A reminder to keep more current with changes in archeology and history. |
