I got this figure some time ago. I cannot remember the creator or where I got it. It was titled Achilles on the box. I am not an expert about Achilles, but it looks more like a Spartan or Greek Hoplite Commander to me. Painted in enamels and acrylics.

Nice, could do with some more large scale ancients.

It´s a 90 mm Pegaso figure.Nr. 90-004,"Argiraspide".

Thanks everyone for the input, and Tom.. thanks for identifying this item.

They were the Υπασπιστές ("hypaspistes" the greek word for who are the shield bearers). In a way the title means the bearers of the royal shield, the royal guards. After they covered their shields with silver they changed their name into Αργυράσπιδες ("Argyraspides", the "Silvershields"). They were an elite/veteran division of the hellenistic armies, unbeatable in combat even when its members turned the age of sixty.
