Hi Mythos!
Indibil as a noble warrior who fought first against carthaginians and later against romans could have utilized a different kind of weaponry and armoury.
To protect himself, he could have utilized a Lorica Hamata, maybe changed or stolen from some roman officer. He could have utilized a bronze montefortino helmet or some other type of bronze helmets utilized by romans (Apullo-Corinthian, Chalcidian,...) or even an iron helmet of gaulish tradition, more common in the iberian territories to the north of the Ebro river, like this from Can Miralles, Barcelona:
His weaponry could have been composed by a Soliferreum (a complete iron throwable weapon, functionally as a pilum), a lance, a La Tène I or II sword, or maybe a Falcata (its a rare weapon to the north of the Ebro river).
Anyway, our Theresites (F. Quesada) could give you more information than me, and perhaps some illustration of the iberian leader.
Hope have helped to you
