Two things I notice right away. 1) The Roman armour. It's conceivable that it's been plundered from dead Roman soldiers, but the effect is to make it look like these guys are being led by Ceasar's third cousin twice removed. 2) The white oblong shield appears to be based on the large bronze shield now in the British Museum dated to 400-300 BC.
Also, I just noticed that some of the shield decoration is imitative of medieval heraldric designs.
