Excellent stuff - I hadn't had a proper look through them before. Plenty of those petals/leaves shield designs, again with the chi-rho ones. I presume those 'Scotch bonnet' things the soldiers seem to be wearing were actually Pannonian caps!
There does seem to be some ship-to-ship combat, and an opposed landing (all using pikes!), but the ships involved appear again to be transport barges rather than warships of the liburna type. This would fit, I think, with Michael Charles's idea that the seagoing 'navies' of the late 4th-5th century were basically made up of Naves Onerariae.
