Salve amici!
Could you please help me to figure out which are the correct rank insignias for the MHAF officers? HB:MPS describes the rank insignias on page 159 but the colored section shows different versions. Additionally, Sarna shows another version here.
Salve!
The thing is, after checking FM:P, the HB:MPS and Sarna, thhat....both colored sections and Sarna are wrong. All three sources made mistakes. In both books the insignias are described like this:
Enlisted:
Miles: No insignia.
Miles Probati: One Chevron.
Miles Gregarii: Two Chevrons.
Officers:
Legionnaires: A silver triangle with a black center.
Centurions: Same silver triangle, with a smaller silver triangle set within the black center.
Principes: A gold triangle with a black center
Legati: Same gold triangle, with a smaller gold triangle set within the black center.
Prefects: A gold triangle, with a smaller gold triangle set within the black center emblazoned with a gold eagle.
Generals: A gold triangle, with a smaller gold triangle set within the black center emblazoned with a gold star.
Imperator: A gold triangle, with a smaller gold triangle set within the black center emblazoned with two gold stars.
Caesar: A gold triangle, with a smaller gold triangle set within the black center emblazoned with three gold stars.
Here is a personal aproximation based on both FM:P and HB:MPS descriptions:
