Draco ( military standard ) The draco ( " dragon " or " serpent " , plural " dracontes " ) was a military standard of the Roman cavalry . Carried by the " draconarius " , the " draco " was the standard of the cohort as the eagle " ( aquila ) " was that of the legion . The " draco " may have been introduced to the Roman cavalry by Sarmatian units in the 2nd century . According to Vegetius , in the 4th century a " draco " was carried by each legionary cohort . The dragon was originally a Dacian emblem . According to Fiebiger , the Romans adopted it from the Dacians , after their defeat or from the Parthians . Literary descriptions . The Greek military writer Arrian describes the " draco " in his passage on cavalry training exercises , calling it " Scythian " : The Scythian banners are " dracontes " held aloft on standard - length poles . They are made of colored cloths stitched together , and from the head along the entire body to the tail , they look like snakes . When the horses bearing these devices are not in motion , you see only variegated streamers hanging down . During the charge is when they most resemble creatures : they are inflated by the wind , and even make a sort of hissing sound as the air is forced through them . Arrian says the colorful banners offer visual pleasure and amazement , but also help the riders position themselves correctly in the complicated drills . The Gallo - Roman Latin poet Sidonius offers a similar , if more empurpled , description . Depictions . The " draco " is depicted on the Ludovisi battle sarcophagus , above the horseman who is the central figure in the composition .

Voisin V The Voisin V was a French pusher - type bomber aircraft of World War I . Development history . The Voisin III had proved a successful bomber , but its payload was limited by the Salmson M9 engine , which produced only 120 - hp . With an already identified need to develop a heavier and more powerful aircraft to deliver a larger bomb - load , an interim measure was taken to produce a Voisin Type III with a 150 - hp Salmson P9 engine . At the same time , the airframe was strengthened and the central nacelle streamlined . The new engine was placed on a raised platform to provide clearance for the propeller and was angled to provide downward thrust . In addition , the landing gear was strengthened and the wing chord was increased from the roots to the wing tips . The new aircraft was given the STAé designation Voisin Type V , while the factory designation was Voisin LAS . The S stood for surélevé ( raised ) which indicated the raised engine mount . The previous Type III variant had an exhaust system which permitted fumes to escape freely ; the Type V incorporated a more effective system of twin exhaust pipes . One Voisin Type V was transformed into a twin - engine aircraft in 1916 by adding a second Salmson in the front of the fuselage driving a tractor propeller . It is believed that the intention was to test a possible twin pusher and tractor propellor configuration for a new bomber planned by Voisin . The twin - engine Voisin Type 5 first flew in early 1916 but appears not to have been developed further . The first Voisin Type V came into operational use in 1915 and not long after replaced the Voisin Type III on the production lines . However , the Voisins 150 hp ( as they were referred to at the Western Front ) were held in low regard by their crews . Despite the more powerful engine , the Voisin Type Vs ' payload was only marginally better and the maximum speed was only 13 km / h faster . Operational use . Approximately 350 Voisin Type Vs were built , and these served alongside the Voisin Type IIIs in front - line escadrilles during 1915 and well into 1916 . In common with other Voisin variants , the pusher engine configuration of the Type V resulted in the aircraft being defenceless against attacks from the rear . However this variant continued the operational use of all of the types both in training and bombing roles .
