Those 'things' go back at least to Stolfi's page by page description that was posted on Rene's site. Stolfi called them " 'start here' markers" and used them to start the text band transcriptions. They seem to come in several different styles ranging from minimal to complex. And not just in the Rosettes, but scattered in various diagrams with circular bands of text and other patterns elsewhere. Three of the most complex variations are in the VMs zodiac sequence. Two are on White Aries. (f71r)
Do they do anything important? They mark text bands. Are the texts important? Perhaps, some of them. Which ones? Look at White Aries.
