What it means

Miles Romanus scuto rubro ante procedit et verba «Romani ante!» iterat, quasi exercitus sine fine ad proelium mittatur. Iocus est absurda repetitio et ardor militaris nimis intensus; imago mittitur tamquam reactio ad incitamentum vel mandatum iteratum. EN: A Roman soldier with a red shield moves forward while repeating “Romani ante!”, as if an army were being sent into battle endlessly. The joke is the absurd repetition and exaggerated military enthusiasm; the image is used as a reaction to encouragement or a repeatedly given command.
