Here are a few that might be appropriate for modification and further thought. My own brief ponderings are inserted in [square brackets]. Any thoughts welcomed and will keep me buoyed over the next few days!
CORONA CIVICA
Made of oak leaves, it was awarded to a soldier that saved the life
of a fellow citizen [Imperial Citizen] in battle. It was also
accompanied by civil benefits.
CORONAE TRIUMPHALES
Crowns assoiated with a general at his triumph, of which he wore the
LAUREA INSIGNIS or INSIGNIS CORONA TRIUMPHALIS, simply of laurel
leaves. His soldiers might be allowed to wear a CORONA OLEAGINA, made
of olive leaves, which symobilised their part in his victory.
Generals that only received an ovation would wear a myrtle-leaved
CORONA OVALIS.
CORONA MURALIS
A gold crown in the shape of a fortress, awarded to the first soldier
over the wall in a siege.
CORONA VALLARIS
A crown decorated with field fortifications, awarded to the first man
over an enemy rampart or palisade in a siege.
PHALERAE
Large medals worn on a harness across a soldier's chest. These have
already been depicted in many Lunar images, I'm sure [the Sedenyic
rune, or the crescent is an image especially given to working well in
this context).
ARMILLAE
Arm bands [I've left off the torques, unless people think adopting
the images of the defeated is appropriate, or it is perhaps a
practice inherited from Sylila].
HASTA PURA
The silver spear, awarded to first centurions, tribunes, legates and
those consular rank, in varying amounts [no prizes for guessing
here... the silver (or steel) scimitar].
Best,
Stu.
