		ABSTRACT: The symbiotic interaction, population and infestation dynamics of the muricid Vexilla vexillum (Gmelin, 1791) on 2 echinoid species, Tripneustes gratilla (Linnaeus, 1785) and Echinometra mathaei (Blainville, 1825), was investigated on the barrier reef off Toliara (Madagascar).
		vexillum is an ectoparasitic muricid which was exclusively found in association with sea urchins, on which it moves freely and browses over the integument.
		vexillum was performed during 3 consecutive years, with seasonal variation in parasite prevalence on both echinoid host species.

		When a vexillum was big enough and important enough to become a field army's standard it became a "Labarum." Figure #56j is the most famous of all labarum, that of the emperor Constantine I. It was very large, perhaps too big to be carried by cavalrymen.
		ALA were grouped into cavalry regiments (300 men) which must have carried a vexillum because a Roman cavalry regiment was called a "vexillum".
		We don't know why the Romans preferred a Vexillum over a flag, but we can hypothesize; 1.) The Romans were very conservative and didn't want to introduce the flag because it was a new idea.
