Question was there a significance between the legions & the Aquilifers by the animal skins they wore or was that just their own choices
Huge difference between the two. Legionnaire didn't wear animal furs of high status.
@@scoutstripedwolf950 I know the regular legionaries didn't wear them but the Aquilifers did. I was just wondering if they just were what they wanted or had a specific one that they did. You know like the best legion of the emperor was wearing the lion then tiger, bear, wolf you know down the animal line.
@@-RONNIE wolf fur was worn by the vexillarius and bear fur by the signifer, a lion fur was given to the aquilifers.
@@scoutstripedwolf950 Thank you for the information. Question is there Channel or site where I can look this up easier
@-RONNIE I would recommend the book, Roman Standards & Standard-Bearers (1): 112 BC-AD 192 (Elite), for more information on standard bearers and the like if you’re still interested and looking for reliable sources.
