Roman Legion was the first professional army in the world. And the legion used an eagle as its standard symbol. Furthermore, every legion had Vexillatio, Image, and so on. These standards were helpful to know enemy’s information such as legion, military strength, equipment, etc.
In a legion, the basic standards were cohort standards and centuria standards. At the top of the standard, there was a spearhead or a palm to show whether the unit was the main force of a legion. If there was a golden garland on the standard, it meant that the unit was the ace troop.
