When Arthur first meets Cerdic he is on his horse standing atop a hill holding the Legion Eagle standard. He plants the standard in the ground and leaves it on the hill unattended and goes down to meet and talk with Cerdic. No Roman commander would ever leave the Legion eagle unattended as losing the Eagle was considered the ultimate loss and disrespect to the legion. In fact, the legion Eagle had a dedicated bearer and this was entrusted to a very senior and well respected legionary.
