    Now here's the bad thing, no Legion battle Standards have ever been recovered, when Rome fell they were either all destroyed or melted down by the surviving legion soldiers

    not likely, if there are any remaining out there they would have been carefully hidden, i'm interested in all that Roman stuff but, finding a Battle Standard would be like asking a baby to build a rocet ship, next to impossible unless the baby was genetacly engineered and had an iQ of 230

    You could follow their tracks and look for battle grounds where they thought they may lose...

    possibly, several standards were lost, but most of them were just straight up destroyed when Rome fell, so there is no hope of getting those back.

    The correct response was "No, I am Spartacus..." Then the Romans nail us all up along the Appian way.

    I finally ran into that Catholic priest I know and he confirmed that it is indeed: Cogito, ergo armatus sum. He also corrected me on my pronunciation which is phonetically Kojitto (I had that right) and armatoos (which I had wrong...) with the accent on the last syllable. Now, if I do get this engraved on a pistol I can at least pronounce it correctly if somebody asks me about it.
