Its a good bet that if any eagles were lost in battle barbarians would melt them down for precious metals. Although the Parthians later returned the aquilas taken from the Romans at Carrhae. But considering that there were probably no more than (guestimating) 200 legions in the history of the Republic/Empire what few eagles there were would be pretty rare. But what a find!! We can still dream right? <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p200.ezboard.com/bromanarmytalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=paullus@romanarmytalk>Paullus</A> at: 1/5/05 6:01 pm<br></i>
