    Signifer: Carried the roman standards (Signum).
    Aquifiler: Carries the eagle-standard of a legion.
    Imaginifer: Carries the portrait auf the (living!) emperor as commander-in-chief

    This is not a Signifer, for he carries no standard. An it is no Aquilfer, for he carries no Eagle. And it is not an Imaginifer, for he carries not an Imago with a portrait of an emperor.

    In my opinion the sign shows the roman god Iuppiter Ammon. On roman reliefs this god was often shown with beard and ram horns...:

    We know it even from roman tiles...:

    There remain only two choices:

    First: The "Signifer" carries a deity as an ensign.

    Second: This is not a Signifer but a Imaginifer which carries an image of the emperor as Jupiter Ammon.

    Both are at least very unusual.

    So: What is he...?

    Cheers

    Another superb bust, Mr. Young

    The best Roman bust I have seen, thanks to Young. Think his armour is a super piece of sculpting.
    Not so worried as to the Imaginifer carrimg the image, if you dont like it you can always change it to something your mind imagines it to be.
    Wonderful bust indeed
