Aquila is the constellation of the Eagle. L'Aquila would be 'The Eagle' or something right?
I could imagine a double 'alchemical' symbolic phoenix meaning aswell 777, do you have a reference?

The Aquila ,the hawk and the Phoenix are all alchemical symbols of the soul soaring into the light.The Phoenix is mythological,and its attributes were copied from the eagle.Aquila is known as the bird of Paradise.

Aquila is part of the summer triangle.So you are correct, they are not Xactly the same thing ,but yet they are symbols of the same principles.Some Occultist say that its the Phoenix on the dollar bil, and others say its the Phoenix.

The bird of paradise is 'Apus' yet another constellation.
