Historical reference
A signifier was a standard-bearer of the Roman legions. He carried a signum (standard) for a cohort or century. Each century had a signifer so there were 59 in a legion. Within each cohort, the first century's signifier would be the senior one.
It had a number of phalarope (disks or medallions) along with a number of other elements mounted on a pole. The pole could be topped with a leaf-shaped spearhead or a manus (open human hand) image denoting the oath of loyalty taken by the soldiers. It sometimes included a representation of a wreath, probably denoting an honor or award.
The task of carrying the signum in battle was dangerous, a soldier had to stand in the first rank and could carry only a small buckler. It was that banner that the men from each individual century would rally around. A soldier could also gain the position of descents signiferorum, or standard-bearer in training. If the signifier was lost in battle, the whole unit was dishonored.
