The roman army standarts were diverse, and still are not full known, specially it's tactial functions. But it's known that they were used in march and combat to comunicate orders and to provide rally points for the legionaries, just as XIX Century flags.
Here you can see two vexilla, a signum and the most famous of all, an aquila legiones (legionary eagle).
