Dacian Draco : ウィキペディア英語版 | Dacian Draco
The Dacian Draco was the standard ensign of troops of the ancient Dacian people, which can be seen in the hands of the soldiers of Decebalus in several scenes depicted on Trajan's Column in Rome, Italy. It has the form of a dragon with open wolf-like jaws containing several metal tongues. The hollow dragon's head was mounted on a pole with a fabric tube affixed at the rear. In use, the ''draco'' was held up into the wind, or above the head of a horseman, where it filled with air and gave the impression it was alive while making a shrill sound as the wind passed through its strips of material. == Name and etymology == ''Draco'' (Latin) and ''Drakon'' (Greek) mean "serpent", "dragon". The root of these words means "to watch" or "to guard with a sharp eye". Apparently, it is a derivative of Greek ''drakōn'' "gazing" .
