Yes, it's a local variant of pugio of Hispania. The scabbard is made in thin bronze plate with simple lineal decoration, and iron side guttering. I think it's begining of first century. Museum could be Coninmbriga (Portugal) ???

I also have a question about the Pugio itself...
It appears that it was a thin straight tang... different from the one to the far right. What type of hilt would this one have had?

Patrick.
Where we can see the hand guard of the one with the long tang this dagger may have had a complete wood handle the one to the right may have had a shorter two thirds length tang, where a central rivet might have gone through combined with two rivets in the ends of the hand guard holding it all together.
