This relief comes from Estepa and is dated by F. Quesada arround the 1st century BC. This relief, as Quesada says, depicts two Roman legionaries because of their convex scuta, metallic helmet and because they're wearing a lorica hamata. Quesada also notices that the quality of the depiction is very bad, but in spite of this fact he states that the scuta are clearly convex and thus, Roman.
