Aims of the Noble Company of the Rose

The Order of the Augustan Eagle was established to serve as the court of honor of The Augustan Society, Inc. This body has also been charged with setting the privileges of the members of the Society and establishing the order of precedence. The members of the Order of the Augustan Eagle will sit annually to conduct their business. Members use the postnominals "OAE" within the Society and do not use FAS as that is a prerequisite. It is appropriate that they continue to use the postnominals "FAS" for all purposes outside the Society.

Note: This group is not an order of chivalry, nor should any claim to such be countenanced.
