Armour - Hinged strap or buckle plates for Corbridge-type Lorica Segmentata
These two pieces are part of Corbridge-type Lorica Segmentata armour.

These hinged fittings are likely either broken parts of a hinged buckle or strap hinges.
Hinged buckles, like the one portrayed in the gallery, were used to fasten the breastplates together.
Strap-hinges were similar, consisting of two plates hinged together, but lacked the buckle.  
They were used to attach the plain leather strap (with the holes) to the other breastplate.

The Corbridge-type is dated to the mid-1st to mid-2nd century AD,
especially the Claudian to Traianic/Hadrianic eras.
