It is in the republican times that the eagle was in silver, at some point in the early empire or perhaps even beginning towards the last years of the republic the eagles were gold. I am trying to remember where it was that I saw a refererance to gold eagle not sure if it was tacitus or livy but i am thinking it had something to do with finding one of the lost varus eagles. If i can find some good information I will post it.
Animals die, friends die, and I shall die, but one thing never dies, and that is the reputation we leave behind after our death.
