Looks like a hoard of money clips.
The Romans couldn’t control those Scots, and couldn’t vanquish those rock throwing thugs, so finally built Hadrian’s Wall and they stayed in England. That wall is still the dividing line between England and Scotland.
Please read the most recent iteration of this same tired old discussion. If the Picts had silver before the Romans got there, they wouldn’t have been able to keep it.

oh my! (ha!) good for them!
Bad teeth run in the family
There have been suggestions that Hadrian’s wall had gates backed up by garrison forts on the English-side. These could have acted like customs port-of-entries as well as a the obvious military bastions that they were.
i seee, thanks!
Since there's no scale in that photo,it's hard to estimate size. Those two hemispheric "domes" look a little small for the purpose -- but they look like "targe" (shield) bosses -- made to surround-- and decorate -- the base of a central spike...
I was thinking they could be the bowls of drinking cups.
Is it a helmet visor on the right edge?
So I guess the Roman Empire existed to the 5th century? I guess a movie was wrong?
Hollywood doesn’t make documentaries — except of course for “Keeping Up With The Kardashians”.
