    Roman Italian legion standard signum ITALICA vexillum flag legionary LEG I (1)
    You can also just purchase the cloth part of the vexillum for only 9 if you don't want the entire standard.  As far as the ones pictured,
    e
    ach vexillum comes with an authentic style
    Roman spear blade made of iron and an iron Roman style butt spike which are mounted on a hard wood pole.  On top of this is mounted a wooden 'T' cross bar on which the vexillum hangs with two gold terminals on either end of the rod.  Two red ribbon streamers hang on each side of the flag with gold heart design terminals on the bottom which was a common Roman design.  These vexillum flags are approximately 20  inches 'wide' by 20 inches 'high', not including the gold fringe.
    The Roman legion vexillum standard or
    signum and
    was carried by the Roman standard bearer called a signifier as ancient standards were called a signum (sign basically)
    .
    Each vexillum cloth flag is made of multiple pieces which includes a separate front piece, separate back piece, separate top piece and other pieces of gold and gold fringe also all sewn into the finale design.
    Are you interested at all in having me make the complete standard for you?  You can control the price by determining how much or how little you want to put into as I have several options for each accessory.  First of all is the pole.  I have one higher grade and thicker hard wood pole that is stained a nice brown, which is also then sealed in and another cheaper version of an unstained but thinner hardwood pole.  I can add an authentic style Roman spear blade made of iron.  I can also add an iron Roman style butt spike.  To mount either one f these takes grinding down both ends of the pole to both make a perfect fit to affix these with nails or screws.  On top of the standard is mounted a wooden 'T' cross bar on which the vexillum hangs from with two gold terminals on either end of the rod.  Two red ribbon streamers hang on each side of the flag with gold heart design terminals on the bottom which was a common Roman design.  These ribbons can be plain or decorated with metal studs and in cloth or leather or a combination of both.  These vexillum flags are approximately 20  inches 'wide' by 20 inches 'high', not including the gold fringe.  Roman coins, grave stele and monuments also show various other items that can be attached such as phalera silver disk, imago's or the image of the emperor disk, wreaths, the manus or hand at top and even a Roman eagle on top to name just a few.  All of the items listed above can be priced before you commit to them.  Basically, you can own a Volkswagen or a Mercedes Benz.
