The Romans typically won battles, and these are mostly found in old camps, but not in any great numbers in any one place, apparently. So, could be, but more likely some kind of amulet or charm, because by the time of the Flavians the Roman army and indeed the Roman Empire itself was mostly Romanized non-Romans. :^) The cult of Mithras was known as the soldiers’ god, and originated in ancient Iran.

They also wouldn’t be a snap to make. If they were being mass produced, I’d expect them to be of a more uniform size, and there’s not much in the way of a purpose for the holes, unless that was to keep them from being collected and hurled back at the Romans themselves.

I’ve gotta watch that one again, it’s got a good ratio of humor and violence.
