Holiday Sculpture

I've taken this picture during my holiday in Spain.
As my knowledge of ancient weaponry is boosted by EB, I guess those weapons are thracian/getic (falx, rhomphaia), composite bows are sarmatian, shields are celtic and the helmets are thracian/greek. The thing I don't know is why the Romans created such sculpture. Maybe it should portray the weapons of defeated enemies or the weapons of thracian mercenaries.

that would be sick on my wall!

some butcher-brained general trying to pull off the equivalent of lots of stuffed animals' heads on his walls, perhaps? Looks a bit too cluttered for my liking, but I've come to the same conclusion as you. The sword in the lower left looks Celtic, too.

Roman swag...

I saw a life size plaster cast of Trajan's column in the V&A museum not so long ago - now that was amazing :dizzy2:
