    Description

    You are buying only the cloth square vexillum flag by itself.  All other items can be purchased separately.  This flag is for the Roman legionary army standard or signum showing a victorious Victory Laurel Wreath and SPQR vexillum flag signifer standard called a signum and carried by the signifier displaying the cloth vexillum cloth flag.  This vexillum shows the Roman SPQR meaning Senatus Populus Que Romanus or  "The Senate and People of Rome".  The Laurel Wreath signifies a Roman victory won by this legion or cohort and a gold wreath was awarded to them.  The image of
    Laurel Wreath
    is known to have been put on all types of Roman standards.
    Each vexillum cloth flag is made of multiple pieces which includes a separate front piece, separate back piece, separate top piece and other pieces of gold and gold fringe also all sewn into the finale design.
    This eagle within wreath design is an exact copy that I made of a Roman marble originally found during excavations of Trajan's forum in the seventeenth century.  It now resides as a  porch decoration of the Church of the Santi Apostoli in Rome.
    Are you interested at all in having me make the complete standard for you?  You can control the price by determining how much or how little you want to put into as I have several options for each accessory.  First of all is the pole.  I have one higher grade and thicker hard wood pole that is stained a nice brown, which is also then sealed in and another cheaper version of an unstained but thinner hardwood pole.  I can add an authentic style Roman spear blade made of iron.  I can also add an iron Roman style butt spike.  To mount either one f these takes grinding down both ends of the pole to both make a perfect fit to affix these with nails or screws.  On top of the standard is mounted a wooden 'T' cross bar on which the vexillum hangs from with two gold terminals on either end of the rod.  Two red ribbon streamers hang on each side of the flag with gold heart design terminals on the bottom which was a common Roman design.  These ribbons can be plain or decorated with metal studs and in cloth or leather or a combination of both.  These vexillum flags are approximately 20  inches 'wide' by 20 inches 'high', not including the gold fringe.  Roman coins, grave stele and monuments also show various other items that can be attached such as phalera silver disk, imago's or the image of the emperor disk, wreaths, the manus or hand at top and even a Roman eagle on top to name just a few.  All of the items listed above can be priced before you commit to them.  Basically, you can own a Volkswagen or a Mercedes Benz.
    The other pictured items show you different items that can attached as well.   One shows you
    an authentic style
