dc.description A short survey of a number of incomplete stone statues, several with warlike attributes and dating between the sixth and second centuries BC, forms the basis of a speculative identification of their representing local heroes. The intentional destruction of the statues, in part or whole, is related to the well-known Iron Age custom of ‘killing’ of swords and other weapons.<br><br>Un breve repaso de una serie de estatuas incompletas de piedra, varias de ellas con atributos guerreros, y datadas entre los siglos VI y II a. C. forma la base de una identificación especulativa de las mismas como representaciones de héroes locales. La destrucción intencional de las estatuas, en parte o por completo, se pone en relación con la costumbre bien conocida en la Edad de Hierro de ‘matar’ las espadas y otras armas.
