Imaginifer

Imaginifer

The imaginifer was a type of "signifer" during the Roman Empire, who carried the "imago" - the image - of the emperor. The imaginifer was added to the ranks of the cohorts when the Imperial Cult was first established during the reign of Augustus. The imago was a metal three dimensional portrait made from beaten metal. It was carried only in the leading cohort.
