Celtiberians
tribes in northeastern Spain of mixed Iberian and Celtic stock; Celts settled in the Iberian Peninsula between the fifth and third centuries B.C. The Arevaci were the main tribe. The area inhabited by the tribes was called Celtiberia. In 195 B.C. part of Celtiberia was conquered by the Romans, and by 72 B.C. the entire region had become part of the Roman province of Hispania Citerior. The subjugated Celtiberians waged a protracted struggle against the Roman conquerors, staging uprisings in 195–193, 181–179, 153–151, 143–133, and 80–72 (the Sertorius rebellion).

No references found | The writer Strabo, tells us how Celtiberians worshipped an unnamed God at full moon; ? It is recorded in many places that Milesians came from Iberia between 1500 BC and 500 BC just as the Spanish Armada later dumped a lot of Celtiberians into the genetic mix of Scotland and Ireland in more recent times. The Iberians and Celtiberians engaged in trade with a succession of new civilizations that began to arrive on the peninsula--the Phoenicians who established Gades (Cadiz) around 1100 BC, on the southern coast--which some scholars link to the fabled kingdom of Tartessos--and the Greeks, who founded the trading villages of Emporion (Empuries) and Hemeroskopeion (Denia) around 550 BC. |
