I was unaware the Roman Empire adopted that symbol as well, and now it's clarified, but my interpretation remains far from invalid.
It's also quite likely that the Nazis borrowed this aspect of Roman symbolism, as the comparisons between the two empires are mulitple and apt.
I can only wonder if this was at all considered when the guild was being created.

The eagle as a symbol is being used in countless ways if you havent noticed. Is this how do you react when you see an eagle symbol in general or just ours?
Either way I pity you.
