Usage notes

Since the Constantine army reforms the word in the meaning of a field standard slowly fell into disuse, as the legions were split up into partial detachments, these bearing the dracō and the aquila being kept at home, and also the labarum introduced. From the 6th century only bandum / βάνδον (bándon) was used. See فلامور (fılamur) for another term in later Byzantine Greek. In literature any of these terms was covered up by σημεῖον (sēmeîon).
