Avete omnes,<br>

I have two questions when I see the picture above and the text about it. Is it sure that this is the emblem of legio V Macedonica? And if it is so - I don't know if this has been mentioned here already - is the shield painting a reference to the old heraldic emblem of Phillipp's and Alexander's Macedonia? A sun that had been depicted with different numbers of sunbeams?<br>
