Inde subito exorti Romani in latus hostium impetum faciunt. Simul e castris mota sunt signa eorum qui in praesidio relicti erant.

Orberg (Livy?) has ..e castris mota sunt signa

Orberg explains this by saying it means 'they moved...'
What does signa mean here...?
I thought it might refer to standards or flags....
