Boshell collection, Texas, until 2018.The eagle was a potent symbol of Imperial Rome, being both the bird of Jupiter, ruler of the pantheon, and the emblem that epitomised Rome's militaristic might.

The most famous example of this was the decades-long struggle to recover the lost standards of three legions after the Roman defeat at the Battle of the Teutoborg Forest in 9AD (in modern-day Kalkriese, Germany).
