This find suggests that there was close contact between the Roman empire and Scandinavia, before and after the emperor's reign.

Bit of a stretch... all it means for certain is that at some time after this thing was made it ended up there

No problem explaining that. Big Roman presence in England until c.400 - and when they collapsed the Norse and Danes had a fine time pillaging the Island before moving west and Saxonizing it.
