Mr. Ross,
My mistake. I will use the link you sent. If you've read one of my other threads you know that I'm having a lot of trouble with one of my eyes right now. Thanks for the link!
As you said "Loyalty to an emperor - in a time of civil war or rebellion particularly" I know there were not only officers, but entire legions that showed loyalty and support of certain emperors. Some legions marching long distances to fight in support of them. If they won there were good chances for promotion and honorary titles, etc. awarded to the legions. But then there was the other side of the coin - If they lost to the opposing emperor they could be demoted or even whole legions disbanded as punishment.
Appreciate your input,
Thomas
