Celtiberian

Iron Age Iberians could trace some of their ancestry to new waves of people arriving from northern and Central Europe, possibly marking the rise of so-called Celtiberian culture on the peninsula.

The existing trade route to Massalia was in the hands of Celtiberian middlemen, and consisted of pack trains across the neck of the Iberian Peninsula.

Cervantes had settled for tragedy for the purpose of exalting patriotism in El cerco de Numancia, a play he composed around the same period as Los tratos de Argel about the cruel siege of a Celtiberian tribe by the Romans.

Contributors believe Celtiberian cannot be reconciled with the old model, and archeologists, linguists, and scholars of prehistory need to find a new one that fits the facts now known.

Previously, Latin had already been influenced by several native Iberian languages such as Celtiberian and Basque.

Greek [chi][alpha][mu][alpha]i 'on the ground' (possibly identical with Celtiberian tamai Botorrita 1 A 3 (29)) can be traced back to a preform *([d.sup.h])[g.sup.h]m-e[h.sub.3]-i: the directive form *([d.sup.h])[g.sup.h]m-e[h.sub.2] (before it was amplified by a locatival *-i) would have regularly had a Lindeman variant *([d.sup.h])[g.sup.h]m-e[h.sub.2] beside it, and the expected outcome of the latter is precisely a Proto-Greek *[k.sup.h][partial derivative]ma.

Her nose was as straight as a Celtiberian's sword and her skin no darker than a pistachio seed.

While these Celtiberians could have been returned north from a campaign far to the south, they could just as easily have been campaigning against Lusitanian tribes on the border of Celtiberian lands much closer to their original homes.
