Salue Uwe,<br>
your idea is highly evocative, I like it a lot!<br>
For your title I might suggest:<br>
"...Legio XXI, signa inlata, ex castris egressit..."<br>
(...The XXIth Legion, with the signs in battle position, went out of the camp...)<br>
It seems almost a Tacitus's Historiae passage (I hope it's correct by grammar, my Latin is quite rusty).<br>
I can't wait for your work, it's also a brilliant idea for a nice sketch.<br>
Optime vale.<br>
Flavius <p>---------<br>
Fecisti patriam diversis gentibus unam;<br>
profuit iniustis te dominante capi;<br>
dumque offers victis proprii consortia iuris,<br>
Urbem fecisti, quod prius orbis erat.<br>
