Imaginifer
The imaginifer was one of the signiferi in a legion in the times of the Roman Empire, who carried the imago (the image) of the emperor.[1]
The imaginifer was added to the ranks of the legions when the imperial cult was first established during the reign of Augustus.[citation needed] The image was a three-dimensional portrait made from beaten metal. It was carried only in the leading cohort.
