Intact Roman vexillum from Egypt
#9
Ligus,

Thank you for the pics and information. It appeared the same to me as I mentioned but was not sure. I think it is best to use the actual evidence found at least with respect to the flag itself. I wonder if it is logical just to put the gammodia in the corners and just the Capricorn in the center and not include the writing. AFAIK, there is no evidence of putting the legion name or number. I am not saying that putting the name and number is wrong, it's just the evidence is lacking. As always we assume that there must have been because we would do it.

Maybe there is written evidence to suggest there was name and number???
