I am not sure if the archaeological context of that boss is known, but I think a third century AD date is reasonable on the grounds of the style of decoration, which has much in common with the decoration on other items datable to the third century AD. To my eyes its decorative style (rather than the fact that it is decorated) makes it unsuitable for use in a first century AD reconstruction.
