Where van Driel Murry uses this term as well as many other Archaeologists I think may be from the fact that many actual Roman Bells are hollow dome shaped objects, and these particular items in question which happen to have a countersink hole in the top do cap a rivet or a stud on many types of objects fitted to leather.
Therefore for many decades now they have been considered as Bellcaps, but then there are many who tend not to understand the true function of them.
It was not until I began to create and use these things that I became very aware of there true nature, and it has to be agreed that they are indeed a wonderfull piece of engineering innovation.
