Both PB ranges were based on Phil Barker's books Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars and The Armies and Enemies of Imperial Rome. This figure is taken from illustration 7 in the first edition of AEIR.
The code numbers for the AEIR range correspond to the illustrations in the book plus '100', i.e. illustration 1 is figure 101, and so on.
The base is stamped PB 107 on the upper surface in the usual manner.
The figure is a composite of funerary monuments and shows a Centurion as he might have appeared strolling about camp with his vine staff badge of office in hand, medals on show, and cloak deftly arranged over his arm in a manner suggestive of a toga. He'd be very brave to face the enemy looking like this - Centurions were fighting men and almost certainly armed as those under their command.
