I agree with Matt-- looks totally authentic to me. Looks like rather typical Roman provincial work of the 1st centuries BC-AD. I like the detail on the montefortino helmet and the "slouched" posture-- realistic little touches you might not find on a metropolitan bronze. Also, it looks like the shield was indeed supposed to be round, but the top part broke off in antiquity.<br>
