Now, Matthew, you know perfectly well that the Roman Army awarded armillae as decorations for valor. What we're looking at here is a whole tableful of heroes, each of whom has been awarded two (rather wide) armillae. Hmm, seems I remember from my Army days that the officers did get a lot more decorations than us grunts.
