A distinctive element of flamen identity in Roman art and description is the priestly headgear and associated accoutrements:

* '''Galerus''' — a leather skullcap associated with flamines; in some descriptions it is said to be made from the leather of a sacrificial animal and were fastened under the chin.

* **Apex** — a pointed spike (often of wood) fixed to the galerus; the apex is the most characteristic badge of the flamen and is especially associated with the flamines maiores.
