Marcus Atilius Pansa. Name and device. Per pale argent and sable, a gorgon's head between in saltire four bulls passant respectant all counterchanged. "We are overturning precedent dating to the December 1984 registration of the badge of Manfred von Halsstern, Argent, a Gorgon's head cabossed sable, langued and orbed, within a pair of bull's horns gules where it was stated, "Cabossed is a perfectly reasonable default for a Gorgon's head it is the obvious and most recognizable aspect - but given the proliferation of ad hoc defaults in SCA heraldry, it is probably better to err on the side of explicitness." We explicitly define cabossed as the default orientation of a gorgon's head, and no longer choose to explicitly blazon it." | Marcus Atilius Pansa. Name and device.

*A submission this month included a demon. We have only registered ''a demon'' nine times, most recently in July 2000. Further research has not shown any instances of a demon as a period heraldic charge. Depictions of demons in period medieval art vary wildly: generally shaggy, but occasionally more dragon-like, feet usually cloven but occasionally clawed like a dragon, sometimes with wings, sometimes without, sometimes with horns, sometimes without, sometimes with a very bestial face, sometimes with a more human face. Demons do not appear to have a standard depiction. | *A submission this month included a demon. We have only registered ''a demon'' nine times, most recently in July 2000.
