Legions carried standards. I suggest the "eagle" for the FReeper Legion:

It was the eagle standard which bore the famous Roman abbreviation SPQR. The letters stand for senatus populusque romanus which means ‘the senate and the people of Rome’. Hence this standard represented the will of the Roman people and stated that the soldiers acted on their behalf..."
