Description

Wooden
Roman Coronae Vallaris Muralis standard signa legion fortress tower Praetorian
standard signa applique legion award of fortress tower, wall or gate in gold or silver finish.
This image was an award given to a particular cohort that was first to climb an enemies rampart.
This tower gate can be seen in a multitude of different designs.  There is no one particular design.  The best book in the world of this type of Roman Military art can be found written by Valerie A Maxfield and is called "THE MILITARY DECORATIONS OF THE ROMAN ARMY".  I highly recommend it.  The Roman standard pole would go through the tower.  The Roman army as well as it's military decoration's did not have a standard design.  The one you see here is 100% carved wood and has been finished with liquid gold leaf paint made here in the USA.  This was a one time item and will not be made again.
