"Sure, I am familiar with the Roman standards, but since being on this list I have become increasingly wary of making such direct translations."
The use of the term vexillum, as opposed to simply writing standard, suggests that there is more than a coincidental similarity, I think. I do not, however, believe that the Lunar Empire should be equated with the Roman in all other aspects.
