The purpose of the Late Roman Draco standard.

[ValentinianVictrix]

Both statements together are a complete contradiction. :wink:

Not really, if the Draco's purpose denotes exactly where every units commander is, the last thing you want is for the enemy to know exactly where the overall commander is, which would happen if the overall commanders Draco was a different colour ('Head for the Purple Draco men, thats where the Roman Emperor is'). Hence, by having every Draco a uniform colour, purple or a similar colour, makes complete sense as the enemy will have no idea where the Emperor or whoever else is in charge is located within the Roman army, they will only know where every commander is located.
