Thanks for posting- interesting!
"Are you sure the dating of this is early 3rd century? I doubt it can be later than mid-4th century due to the pagan symbolism."
im not sure you could use this to date it- plenty of pagan aristocrats in Rome and elsewhere right to the end of the fourth century ( eg Symmachus) and pagan imagery in lots of places - eg the Thetford buckle.
