I am going to attempt to make my own phalerae, but I was wondering if any of you out there that have seen the real ones can comment as to their proper size? Meaning diameter across.
Thanks,
Phillip

Phillip,
From the information I was given on the Lauresfort, I think they measured 10-11cm in diameter.
Hope this helps

Just some measurements:
Nijmegen-'Heuvellust' phalerae: 9.8 cm
Eagle phalerae (findplace unknown): 6.2 cm
Windisch, Kanton Aargua
Glassphalerae with Emperor Tiberius: 6.9 cm
Rheingönheim
Glassphalerae with Emperor Claudius with Kids, woman and Britannicus: 6.8 cm
Probably I can find more measurements, but this were just the ones I got from the first 2 books I looked up.
