Scroll down to image 14. Cirencester Museum.

Being one of the circumlocution horsey types I'd say that this is unlikely to be a hackamore although it could very well be a different type of harness attachment.

As Mike says, you'd probably end up suffocating your horse, if it didn't buck you off first having those rivets in it's face. (Although possibly evidence to suggest that the nosebands were padded in some way.)
