By the 1st Century BC the threat of the Legions under a demagogue was recognized.
Legions could contain as many as 6,000 fighting men, although at times in Roman history the number was reduced to 1,000 to curb the power of mutinous commanders.

 Roman legion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Each legion had another officer, called immaginifer, whose role was to carri a pike with the imago (image, sculpture) of the emperor as pontifex maximus.
Each legion, furthermore, had a vexillifer who carried a vexillum or signum, with the legion name and emblem depicted on it, and unique to the legion, since different from those carried by the other legions.
It was common, for a legion, to detach some sub-units from the main camp, to strengthen other corps; in these cases, the detached subunits carried only the vexillum, and not the aquila, and were called, therefore, vexillationes.

 The Open Source Interest Horizon
Open Source software trades the resource horizon for an interest horizon, the horizon over which a problem simply isn't interesting enough to attract a group of developers who burn to spend their Friday nights wrestling with, say, meter-reading software for a natural gas pipeline.

With Open Source software putting core set of functions in place, software companies will become more like consulting firms and consulting firms will become more like software companies, not duplicating the same basic functions over and over, but concentrating their efforts on the the work that lies over the interest horizon.
