Hello folks
I should caveat this with the following, this is not an area of expertise or something I have given a heap of attention to.
However, whenever I saw a pile of these together in reenactments I always wondered whether the circles were blanks, to be replaced with a specific honour once the group had earnt that particular award. Otherwise the shaft would be bare until populated with awards. I have almost no doubt in my mind that this is wrong but its just something that always crossed my mind whenever I saw them in Roman gatherings.
Hope it helps, even if its just another version of something it can't be it means that we're one step closer to understanding what it is
All the best
