I see some connection in the lunulae to the symbol of enlightenment seen much later in bC and aC artwork.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_(religious_iconography)#:~:text=It%20first%20appeared%20in%20the,have%20been%20imported%20with%20Mithraism.
The symbol used in art only emulates something embedded in the mindset of humans after an event. An enlightened person would not have symbols or arabic text shining out of their heads as you see in artwork.
Strange coincidence that the Irish word for crescent is corran - Ireland didn't have Qs.
