摘要:We study in some detail the Roman weapons represented on a new fragmentary sculpture from the Iberian oppidum at Las Atalayuelas (Jaén, Andalusia, Provincia Baetica), probably from the periurban sanctuary or its surroundings. Although it was intentionally damaged and reused, enough elements remain to show that it formed part of the sculpted decoration of an important architectural monument. It represents a horseman armed with the characteristic defensive weapons of the Roman Republican cavalry: parma equestis and lorica hamata. It is the work of a local Iberian workshop depicting either a roman horseman in a battle scene, or an Iberian aristocrat with Roman weapons in a heroizing context. It can be dated to the Second century B.C. or the first half of the First.
