Synopsis
Roman unit standards played a important role, both ceremonially and on the battlefield. With the armies of the late Roman Republic and early Empire continually engaged on the frontiers, the soldiers selected for the dangerous honor of carrying them were figures of particular renown and splendor. Standard-bearers wore special armor, with the heads and pelts of animals such as bears, wolves, or even lions draped over their helmets and shoulders. The standards themselves varied greatly, from the legion's Eagle and imperial portrait image to various cohort signa, flags ( vexilla ), and even dragon "windsocks" ( dracones ) copied from barbarian enemies and allies. This first volume of a two-part series by Roman army expert, Raffaele D'Amato uses detailed color plates and the latest research to examine these vital cogs in the Roman army machine that drove its soldiers to conquer the known world., The all-conquering armies of ancient Rome are still symbolized in language and art by their 'Eagles'-the gilded standards carried at the head of each legion by a veteran soldier, who was marked out by the skin of a wild beast adorning his helmet. The legions' standards were revered as sacred objects, which embodied their military prowess and would lead them to victory; in their memory, regiments throughout history have prized and defended their 'colours' above all else. But the Romans did not only have eagles: each legion had more than 60 standards in all, of different categories, and others were carried by the Praetorian Guard and the many units of Auxilia recruited across the Empire. In this book, drawing upon deep research into the literary, iconographic and archaeological sources, Dr D'Amato explains and describes them all. His book is illustrated with photographs of sculptural evidence and archaeological finds, and with meticulous new colour reconstructions of the standards and the splendidly equipped men who carried them into battle. Book jacket., A fully illustrated study of the colorful standards employed by the Roman army, and the iconic standard-bearers who led the legionaries into battle.
