warrior quiz

hmm I go with TraderTrey9785

Falcata, Montefortino helmet, Scutum, Celtic mail. Celt-Iberian with some Roman armor

Hello
And the right answer is : Sertorian Wars warrior.
This illustration represents one of the Lusitanians that followed Sertorius. According to Plutarch they wore Roman equipment. In this case he has roman armour and Lusitanian weapons and clothing.
I must congratulate everyone that participated and especcially Stefanos (who discovery it first) and Ivan for pointing the right answer.
Many thank to all
Best regards

Nice attempt but please note:

-Falcata hilt fourth century BC. Also a very peculiarly ornamented piece. By the 1st century BC hilts were mostly plain, with bone pieces.

-Iberians and Celtiberians seem to have used Montefortinos/Bugennum mostly removing cheekpieces

-Finally, even if using Roman scuta with a curved 'tile' profile instead of the Iberian flatish type, the choice of boss is debatable. Arcaheological evoidence for Sertorian times favours round bosses with many rivets (see Alto Chacon, for example)

Ola Fernando
Thank you for your information; this will help improve the historical accuracy of my illustration.
Do you have any image of a falcata like the one you describe? (in color would be great)
Muchas gracias
