Welcome to Tnet.

I can only help by saying it looks brass & it's 100% not Roman. As to its function I'm unsure.

The object appears to be of rolled brass, machine stamped.

Post-Industrial Revolution, from later 19th or early 20th Century.

This looks like a tough one. I'd say it looks like a part of something from a crash, run in by a plow or hit with a bomb. If I was to guess the age I'm going with first half of the 20th century.
