I can guess your refutal:

"Well, we use the eagle under its public meaning too! It confers the might of Rome upon us!"

What do you describe a symbol with multiple public connotations adopted for private use as though? It's a still a matter of deciphering which public connotation is being adopted, and so in this sense it's still the context which lends the symbol it's meaning, prefabricated or not-- hence, my original inquiry. And hence, I still won't freak whenever I spot an eagle.
