Sacramentum
#3
Avete,
We are using in our Roman group following form of an oath:
SACRAMENTVM
ME OMNIA IMPERATORIS IVSSA FACTVRVM ESSE
CONTRA HOSTIS SVMMA VI IN ACIEM PVGNATVRVM
NVMQVAM AB SIGNIS DECESSVRVM
NVLLO MODO IMPERIVM POPVLI ROMANI LAESVRVM
NISI HANC FIDEM CONSERVABO
IVPITER ME DELEAT

english translation:
The oath:
I will always fulfill commands given to me,
I will fight with an enemy in phalanx,
I will never abandon standards,
I will not harm to the Roman empire and nation of Rome,
if I do not keep it,
Ivpiter (Jupiter) will destroy me.

I am not sure that this sacramentvm was really used in the empire period, so I have to ask my friends, how it is. But my private opinion is that this sacramentvm is taken from historical sources.

vale and regards :-) )
