As with all the 'PB' range, it is derived from Phil Barker's pair of books Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars and Armies and Enemies of Imperial Rome. PBC standing for Phil Barker Cavalry. This figure corresponds with illustration 99 in AEIR.
He is riding PBH 221, which is a generic horse with saddlecloth. Although designed to go with this range both horse and rider have their own saddlecloths.
There is little else distinctive about this chap and he could easily stand in for a variety of barbarian horsemen.
Worth noting Minifigs later changed their numbering system - PB101 and above were renamed as IR 1 and above.
ReplyDeleteHi Rob - yes they did that when they introduced the 78 catalogue range although they kept the 'PB' designation for the Macedonian and Punic Wars figures. I have a few of the more modern figures that have come my way more recently - separate shields makes 'em easy to spot!
