Name Strictly speaking, the word draconarius denotes the bearer of the military standard on which a dragon was represented. sfn Smith Cheetham 1875 p 579 The term passed into Christian usage, and was applied to the bearer of the labarum in battle, and also to cross bearers in church processions. sfn Tyrwhitt 2005 p 197 Dragon ensign From the conquered Dacians , the Roman Empire Romans in Trajan s time borrowed the Dacian Draco dragon ensign which became the standard of the cohort as the eagle was that of the legion. sfn Yust 1953 p 570 Probably Dacian in origin, the draco was later generally introduced in the fourth century as a Roman standard. sfn Den Boeft Den Hengst 1987 p 97 It consisted of a bronze dragon head with a fabric body similar in shape to a tail behind it. Wind flowed through the gaping mouth and billowed out the cloth tail much like a modern windsock .
