Here you can see our old vexillum, the pole is 230cm in length, and the vexillum of the ESG (carried by our cornicen in Xanten) that has a pole of about 180cm I believe. Sorry for the blurry image.

As there is no real evidence for one of the two lengths (I've seen vexilla of different lenghts depicted in Roman art) I think I will go for a length more or less the same as our old one. That is if I can find a good pole Smile

Valete,
