In Rome and her Northern Provinces - Alan Sutton publishers, 1983, ed. B. Hartley and J Wacher, is a chapter called Sacramentum, p. 179-. In this the author, H. von Petrikovits, makes a good case for a connection between the military oath and the raised hand found atop many Roman standards. The hand on the standard being a physical reminder of the raised hand of the soldiers taking their oath.
