I've recently seen the sticker art for the purple Roman army and wanted to report a "nice touch" that is being included... if players do own the rest of the system (likely most purchasers) and want to do a side shuffle of sorts.
The victory banners here are Roman eagles, with a gray background.
If you remember, the base game Roman VBs had a red background. The Red Romans of RvB had VBs with a purple background. By giving a gray background VB to the purple Romans, those who wish for a little more literal alignment can swap VBs around in their armies-- so that each Roman army has VBs of it's own particular army background color.

That's nice under any circumstances, but might be particularly nice if you're doing RCW type battles with two Roman armies fighting each other.
