I've looked online and couldn't see any examples, heres one from Mainz (Germany 2nd-4th century AD) there are a few, though not very common as hobnail examples, also in clothing decoration, mozaics etc...

As others have said, the 'swastika' design (crux gammata, or tetragammadion) was pretty common in Greek and Roman culture.
It appears on floor mosaics (ie here and here), in brooch designs (here), on shield designs (here, from Colchester, and at the corners here from Dura Europos) and on late Roman tunics (here and here).
It was apparently associated with good luck, but could merely have been a decorative pattern, sometimes appearing in combination with other shapes, as here.
