Here is who carries what:

Legion: Golden Eagle

Cohort: Silver Eagle

Company: Tin Eagle

Centuria: Imago

Century: Signum

Vexillation: Vexillum

Notes:

The first company of every Cohort is filled with Evocatus (Veterans)

The first cohort is always with the Primus no matter what and men from their first company make up his Honor guard.

Within every Vexillation one squad will be made up of Immunes (Specialized infantry)

Their is one smaller formation called a line (7 men) lead by a Decanus.

A larger formation does exist which is an Imperial Legion (3 legions) very few are currently active most are just administrative blocks (Save the Knights Teutonicus)
