Corniculary

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A corniculary (Latin: corniculārius) or cornicular was an officer of the Roman legions who served as the adjutant to a centurion,[1] so named for wearing a "cornicule" (Latin: corniculum), a small, horn-shaped badge supposed to have been worn on the office-holder's helmet.[2]
