I'm an American so I don't know much about Roman... But it could be a cloak hook or a puttee hook.

Are there any holes in it?

 

[germansal]

No holes in it

Tacitly not roman.

Google "Miederhaken" (English translation Bodice Hook). Funny that this comes up at Oktoberfest time, when you see them in real life

rebbel31 - Your relics is, indeed, a horse decoration.

It does. That had not occurred to me because I was thinking 'older'. I was influenced by the word "Roman". It's amazing how one word can skew the direction of your thought/research direction.



Edwardian era stick pin...

Looks late Victorian to me, but what I am sure of is it is not Roman.
