This is nothing other than modern. Look no further than the absurd iconography on the cuirass: two pegasus' pulling a cartoon chariot which the driver does not fit in, a winged female (victory?) playing tug of war with two figures (the dioscouroi?), random lions. This would have been nonsense to an ancient viewer and to a anyone working in the Renaissance. The composition is of such a confused nature, and the execution of such poor quality, this could not possibly have been made long ago.
