Does anyone know what happened to the Vexillia (the unit, not the flag) after the Marian Reforms? The last mention of that unit type I have found is in Livy's accounts.
Did the army continue to use this unit as semi-official for small duties, keep it as an administrative group within the cohort (like the maniple), or was it dropped from use entirely?
(It was the mention in another thread of the Decanus Biarchus that made me to suspect there could be a direct connection between that rank and the Vexilla.)
