Description
This is a vertical small scale banner (20X45cm) for our historical reenactment group, "Asociatia Traditia Militara" ([link] or this for the page in Romanian, which has a lot more info: [link] ) because we wanted something that will have all the ensigns of the various groups we reenact - It's actually the vertical version of our "normal" flag ([link] )

The middle emblem is that of our association, set on a wreath similar to that of the 1872 flag [link] and it represents a red Dacian Dragon (Draco), wrapped around the yellow Roman Fascia and holding a cross in its mouth, on an azure shield (thus forming the tricolour of Romania). The shield is actually an inescutcheon, because it is further set upon a green Romanian Cross (while I, personally, am non-religious, the vast majority of our population is, including the army, who has a long tradition of association with the Church) and backed by two crossed swords - the Dacian falx (the crooked one) and the Roman gladius.
The cross also bears the initials of our Association and, on the bottom arm, the emblem of the European Union of Military-Historical Groups [link] , which which we are affiliated.

The smaller emblems are those of the various regiments we reenact, from the top left, going boustrophedon:

2nd Guard Rifle Regiment "Queen Elisabeth" (1860,1877), 4th Paratroop Battalion (WW2), Palace Guard Battalion (WW2), 1st Mountain Troops Battalion (WW1, WW2), The Marine Infantry Regiment (Romania only ever had one and it served during WW2), IV Line / 21st Infantry Regiment "Ilfov" (it was known as IV Line for 1860 and 1878 the name later changed in 21 infantry for WW1 and WW2), 1st Border Guard Regiment (WW1,WW2), 4th Dorobanzes Regiment "Arges" (territorial troops, they fought during the 1877-78 Romanian War of Independence) , 2nd Romanian Border Guard Regiment Nr.17 "Nasaud" (one of the very few fully Romanian units which served in the Austrian Army during the Napoleonic Wars and distinguished itself at Arcole, where they, along with a regiment of Croat Border guards, held the bridge against Napoleon) and the Military Firemen Company Bucharest (which distinguished itself during the 1848).

The motto, "Virtus Romana Rediviva" (Roman Virtue Reborn), also doubles as the motto of the 2nd Romanian Border Guard Regiment Nr.17 "Nasaud".
