This is the Aetolian or Agrianian Javelinman that first appeared in the Miniature Figurines 72/73 catalogue as PB 15s and subsequently in the 75 catalogue as PB 15.
Both PB ranges are based on Phil Barker's books Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars and Armies and Enemies of Imperial Rome. This figure is taken from illustration 15 in AMPW.
The 's' designation refers to the then new style 25mm sized models as opposed to the earlier and smaller 1/72nd range. The 's' - standing for special - was quickly dropped once the entire range had been upgraded.
The base is stamped PB 15 on the upper surface in the usual Minifigs style.
Overall - a typical Minifigs javelin pose and a pleasing little model not far from the preceding Ancient 'S' range in terms of overall anatomy.
