ID for Enameled Artifact, Please!

Ave!

Copper alloy; 38mm/4.0gm

At first glance, this appears to be an equal-ended plate brooch, but it is not.
From the two square-ended attachment pins seen on the reverse, it must be a Roman strap or belt mount of some sort or is it?
But the small size makes me wonder...

HELP!

Best to all, Kevin

Could be a fibula.  But I think that with the brackets on the back it was a strap decoration - Roman 2nd-mid-3rd century AD.
