Rogationes paucae:
1. Can someone post either a picture or a link to a picture of the famous vexillum from Egypt that is now located at the Hermitage, the one of Victory standing on the globe?
2. I read that a second vexillum had been found. Picture?
3. What is the evidence for the use of signs of the zodiac on vexilla? Or is this merely a reenactorism, a case of reenactors copying other reenactors without asking questions? I know that signs of the zodiac, such as the capricorn, were mascots of certain legions.
4. I remember seeing a Nova show sequence where an iron vexillum frame had been recovered from a site in [Turkey?]. Picture?
5. Any suggested references?
