主题：【原创】飞腾的火焰-萨珊波斯四百年（不定期填坑） -- 赫克托尔

Each Roman centurion led 100 Roman Soldiers. Junior officers reporting directly to the centurion included the standard bearer and signifier for each century. The Roman ensigns and standards standards helped to keep the units together, since the soldiers could see them above the action. There were a large number of standards and ensigns in the Roman Army making them readily visible to the soldiers. The purpose of the Roman standards were to act as follows:

Recognition signals for the various units in battle

Rallying points

Used in combination with the horn blowers and trumpeters to signal the troops

Symbols of Roman power and honor

Key symbols of the Roman army and soldiers in religious ceremonies

The various standards were considered as sacred objects representing the spirit and soul of the various military units
