The purpose of the Late Roman Draco standard.
#35
Whatever the device--dragon or chi-rho--it would be useful for maneuver units to have some means of telling where to go. I always assumed that was one reason for the orientation of the centurion's crest. It the fog and friction of battle it's really easy to get disoriented.
