Roman Legionary Eagle (Aquila)
SKU: AH6729The aquila, the golden eagle standard of a Roman legion, carried genuine quasi-religious importance for the ordinary soldier, representing the Eagle of Jove and the collective honour of the entire legion.
Carried by a legionary known as the aquilifer, the aquila’s loss was considered so shameful that Rome went to extraordinary lengths to recover one if lost, most famously spending decades retaliating after the Teutoburg Forest disaster of 9 AD cost three legions their eagles. No genuine legionary aquila is known to survive today.
This reproduction recreates that supreme Roman legionary emblem, part of our Roman heritage range.

Roman Legionary Eagle (Aquila), Brass, Tin-Coated
SKU: AH6729NPThe aquila, the golden eagle standard of a Roman legion, carried genuine quasi-religious importance for the ordinary soldier, representing the Eagle of Jove and the collective honour of the entire legion.
Carried by a legionary known as the aquilifer and normally leaving camp only when the whole legion marched, losing the aquila was considered so shameful that Rome went to extraordinary lengths to recover one if lost — spending decades retaliating after three eagles fell into Germanic hands following the Teutoburg Forest disaster of 9 AD. No genuine legionary aquila is known to survive today.
This reproduction is cast in brass and tin-coated, comes without pole, part of our Roman heritage range.

The cingulum militare, a leather belt covered in decorative metal plates, was one of the most visible pieces of a Roman soldier’s kit — worn as much to display rank and honour as to hold up the braccae, or trousers, in battle. This reproduction follows the RGZM pattern, modelled on an original artefact dated to the second half of the 1st century AD, now held at the Romano-Germanic Central Museum in Mainz. Natural tanned leather is fitted with brass plates and studs, complete with attachment points for hanging a pugio dagger.
