Mismatched patterns and labels in the Magister Peditum illustrations

Description

"An examination of the shield patterns attributed to the western Magister Peditum throws up some anomalies. Several pairs of adjacent patterns representing auxilia palatina units seem similar to one another, as if they come from "related" units, but the names typically do not relate, nor do they correspond to known historically brigaded pairs of units as recorded in the writings of Ammianus, for instance."
