The left one looks post-Roman.  The right one is a Roman stud, used primarily on horse harness though possibly on some third century belts.

Thanks shawn, I saw an example that looked similar and matches in design but was for a baldric belt. Given the size it probably is horse armour.

The right hand one was for a horse's strapping.  Either as decoration or as a fastener where the back went through slots on two straps.
