Great again!
So... i'll bet for butterfly umbos with straight wings for the end of III century BC (Telamone shield-model) and first half of the II century BC (Aemilus Paullus monument) (and considering celtic umbos of this type from this period), introducing oblique wings later (II and I century BC - Spanish finds-). Just guessing.
I'll see if i can find those papers. But i have a problem: Italian. It seem easy... but it isn't.
