Imaginifer

The imaginifer was one of the signiferi in a legion 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.
