Need help ID of mount.

[Kilian O]

Hello,

I've been trying to ID these mounts but the bottom one I can't seem to find. The upper one should be celtic style belt mount from the late 2nd century. But the bottom one has me clueless as I can't seem to find one that matches style-wise. I suspect a trumpet style mount, can anyone confirm this ? It weighs arround 10 grams and is 53mm long.

Same general era.  If you flip it the other way you can see the stylized dolphin in the centre of the design.

They date roughly 150-225 AD.

The top one is known as Klosterneuberg style after the finds at that abbey just north of Vienna.

Would these have been mounted on the main belt friend and was the find in a military context?

Yes, they would have been mounted on a leather belt not much wider than them.  Just riveted to the leather.  It is thought that the leather was often dyed as traces of read leather belts have been found on Roman military sites in the desert.

So they likely looked like shiny brass or silver color (if tinned) on a red or black belt.
