The ring could be for other purposes than sword suspension, but is a reasonable suggestion. The plates are of a type in use during the aerly second Century. As there is only a single plate with a ring it is difficult to surmise its true purpose.

It could have been for a decorative terminal like these plates for example and nothing to do with the suspension of a sword..
