Are these real roman lorica squamata scales ?
#7
They look like 'jinglers', a sort of metal decoration specifically for producing noise , the sort of thing you may see as decoration on horse trappings or standards( not specifically military) or even wind chimes, gives the same effect as tambourine discs.

Without context I think it's just guessing unless there are other examples with a bit of provenance somewhere.
