Salvete,

I'm making a new vexillum and I'm not sure what length I should make the main wooden pole. Any suggestions? The pole of our old vexillum is quite long (230cm). Most reconstructions of a vexillum I see around have a considerably shorter pole.

What length would you suggest, and why (ease of use? authenticity? what's the evidence in roman art?)?

Vale,
Jef Pinceel
