Imaginifer

Tombstone of Aurelius Diogenes, imaginifer, with inscription D:M:AV(re)LIUS:DIOGENES:IMAGINIFER ("To the spirits of the departed, Aurelius Diogenes, standard bearer"). Grosvenor Museums, Chester, England.

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.
