What is the thing on the pole between the bound captives called?
... the "thing" is called Vexillum (standard) with inscribed VOT XX in two lines ... VOT=vota, the oath of the Emperor to be loyal.

The cloth vexillum is the predecessor to modern flags. Hence the term "vexillology" -- the study of flags.
