I've had a look through previous topics (as I'm sure this one must have come up) and was wondering what happened to the Legions Standards? or more to the point ~ if any of "The Eagles" had survived or were preserved for sometime after the Empire had disappeared. They were obviously symbols of great importance and held enormous significance ~ huge efforts after all where made to regain and preserve them even after a defeat on foreign soil such as when Germanicus was able to reclaim two of those from Varus' defeat in Germania years after the event.
It seems odd to me given (all) that still remains, that these would 'all' simply vanish. :?
