Hi!
Tahnk you for your comments!
In fact, the warrios that wear a chain mail or montefortino helmets are Iberian warriors with captured roman equipment... it's the Second Punic War!
Iberian warriors did not used Lorica Hamata til the roman arrrived the Iberian Peninsula, to the end of III cent. BC.
The best source to know the Iberian and Celt- iberian military equipment is F. Quesada "El Armamento ibérico. Estudio tipológico, geográfico, funcional, social y simbólico de las armas en la Cultura Ibérica" (The Iberian weaponry. Typological, geographical, functional, social and symbolic study of the weapons in the Iberian Culture); ed. Monique Mergoil, Montagnac, 1997. You can also find some stuff in Gladius ( http://gladius.revistas.csic.es/index.php/gladius ), a review from the spanish CSIC (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas) with papers in english, spanish and french. References in english are not too much... unfortunately
I hope I can show you more photographs soon!
Best Regards
