From my point of view, the same engravers who worked in Imperial coin workshops engraved part of these images. Some of the artifacts appear to be of lower quality and may have been produced in local workshops near to the Roman Limes.
These Stripes studs (which are currently my topic) are replicas of existing studs but dedicated to other imperial images. I guess that these originals from Vindonissa-Museum are of Octavian Augustus and down to the left Imp. Trajan (on the black-and-white photo).
This one profile here looks very much like Hadrianus to me. The bearded ,the nose are his.
This one here is 100% Imp.Galba. Although for this artifact I do not have archaeological data from a scientific publication.
Some of them have similarities with the Flavius family.So I think that in antiquity there was similar applications of the other Roman Emperors,used by the legionnaires as small phalerae or decorations for suspension on various objects that emphasize their devotion to the Emperor.Regarding the images which I have recreated on such small appliqués (of emperors and generals), I have no evidence for the existence but this is my creative solutions.
The dimensions I have used are consistent with the scientific publications of similar finds-applications.
