In no case rivets or nails survive; in one or two cases there was a rest of wire in one of the holes. All found IIRC in or around fortresses on the <em>limes</em> of Germania superior resp. Raetia; dating: second and third century AD. Alternate suggestions: for ex. owner's tags for other "military" things apart from shields.<br>
