I've just came across the doctoral thesis by Stefanie Hoss about Roman military belts.
http://www.romanarmytalk.com/18-referenc...tml#370648
The fitting in question is her type B.23.e (cat. B1522-B1529) and is dated to the late 2nd/early 3rd C. AD.
She did not mention the horse heads but they are clearly visible at B1526 and B1527.
And as some of the type have been found in Roman contexts with other belt parts they seem to be Roman at all.
