Best Answer

Aquila ('the Eagle') was the name of a Roman legion's official standard that was carried into any battle that a legion would fight. It was important because a legion's soldiers considered it the symbol and the pride of their legion. Soldiers would fight to the death to protect their Eagle in battle and would consider losing it to the enemy a matter of great shame.
