This is the Visigothic Infantryman that first appeared in the Miniature Figurines 72/73 catalogue as PB 194.
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 94 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.
The base is numbered PB 194 on the upper surface in the usual manner.
Aside from his rather oddly-shaped shield this is very much a standard Germanic-type barbarian or later Roman foederate.
