Roman legion standard scale bowl silver white brass signifer signum phalera

Description

You are buying ONLY just the silver plated bronze scale design bowl on the bottom of the standard.  I can also add fringe.  Roman legion standard scale bowl silver white brass signifer signum phalera.  Silver plated bronze metal.
This type of standard was carried by a Roman signifier and was called a signum or standard.  All legionary cohort standards were ornamented by phalera such as these.  The number of disk on a particular standard is believed to have signified which century the standard belonged too.  Three disk meant this standard belong to the third century of the cohort etc.  The pictured standard seen here was done for ....
Cohort three of Legion Ten Fretensis which took part in the siege of Jerusalem and Masada and garrisoned Jerusalem for nearly 200 years.  The bull here is done in gold wire embroidery and was a symbol of all Augustan legions born or commissioned by Octavian after the civil wars with Mark Antony.
It is also a possibility that each disk or phalera on a Roman standard symbolized a battle honor.  Similar to how ribbons can be attached and hang down from some modern day flag etc. We already know that phalera were awarded to individual Romans and it is also accepted that ornamentation seen on most Roman standards are military honors as well.  Thus it is indeed possible that these disk could have been given as awards to a particular century or cohort.  Others will argue that six phalerae are usually the maximum number shown on a signum so this has to mean they represent centuries.  However, the late second century AD stelae of Aurelius Alexandrus appears to show seven phalerae on each of the signa pictured  The real facts are that we will never know with 100% certainty what the disk on Roman standards were for so we can only take an educated guess.
I also custom make Roman standards like this one.
