Or even where the word aquila, and thus "eagle", comes from, and what this term may have actually signified to whoever began to use it first. Still, it's rarely explained why the Roman army would identify with an eagle. The eagle featured particularly prominent as the signature standard of the Roman legions, particularly after the Marian reforms of 107 BC. Eagles, whether single or double-headed, have been venerated since deep antiquity, by the great cultures of Mesopotamia, the Hittites, the Persians, the Greeks and finally the Romans and modern Europeans. The name Aquila is the Greek rendering of the Latin word aquila, meaning eagle (our English word "eagle" directly stems from aquila), but that comes with an enormous footnote.
#AQUILA NATUS MEANING FULL#
The name Aquila appears 6 times in the New Testament see full concordance. Paul maintained a close friendship with Aquila and Priscilla and greeted them in three of his epistles (Romans, First Corinthians and Second Timothy). The instruction of Apollos demonstrates that the Gospel was never a simple affair, and might be known in part while it's not at all clear to the believer that his faith is incomplete.
In Ephesus, Aquila and Priscilla met Apollos, an extremely gifted theorist who was nevertheless missing a few essential pieces of the Gospel ( Acts 18:26). Aquila and Priscilla accompanied Paul on his journey into Syria, but remained in Ephesus while Paul traveled on ( Acts 18:19). Hence they moved to Corinth where they teamed up with Paul, and most likely also Timothy and Silas, who joined Paul in Corinth. They lived in Rome but were expelled during the reign of Claudius. He was a Jew, a native of Pontus (and compare Acts 2:9 to 18:2) and was married to Priscilla. The name Aquila belongs to one of the earliest pioneers of the Gospel.
