Phalearae on Standards

[M. Demetrius]

That's a sensible conclusion, in my opinion, that it's just a lack of space. To make a firm case, we would have to see three phalerae on all grave stele, all sculpture, etc., and we simply don't. There seems to be some reason that they used different numbers. Nobody so far has come up with an answer for why or what they meant.

I heard from someone a while back that there was an existing disc found. All I remember about it (as I wasn't particularly interested at that time in making any) was that it was round, had a raised "doughnut" around the outer edge and a square hole in the center. Does anyone have any information on that find? Size? Other dimensions?
