Hello,
this is my first post in this forum. I've been trying to track down information on the use of the aquilifer in the late roman army. We all know that the draco was in use then, as well as the vexillatio, but what of the eagle. Vegetius does give some insight, but he can be unreliable and often refers to earlier times.
So, can anyone enlighten me on whether the aquilia was still in use in the late roman army.
Thanks
