Okay, suppose we flip the thunderbolt back to the vertical (sorry I moved it!)it's now 57mm high according to the measurements I have.
The round hunt scene plate is 60mm in diameter. The acanthus plate was probably of a similar size when complete, and so voila, the thunderbolts fit with the plates!!
Granted, the square plates are smaller, so there will leather framing them, but that aint necessarily inaccurate, just look at the first Pula belt image I posted.
I still agree with the Deschler Erb, Kunzl et al.
Is there no-one out there who has attempted a reconstruction?
