Good Morning. Decanus has a special connection to me as my name is Dean.
I am looking into something in relation to a Decanus.
As a member of the forces, and a commander of ten "men", I am researching into what the crest would look like.

Good Afternoon
I am trying to track down the crest / rank insignia for a Decanus or Contubernium
A ten man tent commander (section commander in the present day commonwealth military) I believe - and I am only learning at this phase - is called a Decanus.
I once held the rank of a section commander - ten man commander - and my name is Dean.
I had once found a crest (I will see if I can dig it up) that was reportedly that of a Decanus (Legionnaire-type body with armour, roosters head, snake for a leg, holding I believe something like a Trident on a circle).
the significance of my name and Mil service has not escaped me
Any help would be greatly appreciated
