Where it comes to phalerae it is becomes so strange to even imagine that these things could ever be transferable from one owner to another, and then again with the Lauersfort we have a name on the front of one of them in fact the only one it could have been put onto ( Cupid ) this name is also the same name on the Lauersfort dish.
It is my theory that this name is that of the centurian who had the honour of wearing these pieces at parade occasions and the phalerae were awarded to his unit as a whole, however the dish may well be his own private award and therefore carries the same name.
The name on the Trimontium plates is most definitely on the inside for how else could those bell caps be put there other than before the picture went onto the back plates as also this one that is of the same shape as one of the Lauersfort again with bell caps fitted before the picture.
