What were the banners of the legions?  I think I saw them once on this site.  Of particular interest are the 5th legion, the praetorian guard, and the emperor himself.  I see what's on the wikipedia, and I wondered if everyone thought they were legit?

I don't want to lead any witnesses.

The second one certainly isn't ancient in origin. How do I know? A spacially correct geographic map of the empire within the garland. A dead giveaway.

 

You might try the Notitia Dignitatum, a late empire document, which I understand includes some legionary emblems.
