Roman Legion - Commanders
From L-R:
Imagniferi
Camp prefect
Legate
Agiliferi
The Legate was the highest commander in the legion. He was a senate. He's dressed in purple which was the most expensive colour. During the republican era general's wore it, during the emperial era it gradually changed so that only the emperor wore purple.
The camp prefect was the third in command after the Legate and a political tribune. The camp prefect was the highest military rank. The camp prefect had before been the primus pilus, the century of the first cohort. He was a military. It was a post held by an older man with many years of experience.
The imagniferi was a role added during the empire. He held an image of the emperor.
The aquilifer held the aquilae, the legion eagle. The aquilae was introduced with the Marian reforms 109 B.C. and was the most important standard in the Legion. The aquilifer was junior to a centurion but senior of the optioned and received double the pay of the legionnaires. The aquilifer wore a lion fur.
--------
Since Lego haven't made a golden eagle and the only golden bird is an owl that I don't own I decided to build one with golden parts and the arms of a golden Harry potter, not as good as a mold, but it's good enough.
--------
I've always been interested in ancient Rome. Back when the CMfs were released I only managed to get 1 legionnaire and 1 Centurion. This spring I've started collecting and buying up parts on bricklink and am starting to get a unit.
Hope you'll like them!
