For a couple of farmers the Lusitanians did themselves good.

Anyone got a good map of the celtibarian villages and cities pre-roman conquest? I can only seem to find the roman maps, where Numancia has been wiped off the map.

if the iberian tribes defended hispania in the alps, the roman conquest would have taken 200 years more i swear
also, i find it silly for modern countries to claim heroes from 1000 years before their time
Portugal is very modern compared to Viriato

There are interesting links between Pre-Phoenician and early Pheonician Iberia and Sardinia, especially in the area of Tartessos (Huelva?)

>The following article addresses the study of
the relations between Sardinia and the Iberian
Peninsula during the first centuries of the 1st
millennium BC with particular attention to the
role of the Nuragic populations. The discovery of
an increasing amount of Nuragic tradition pottery
in southern Spain requires a reflection on the times
and ways that led Sardinian sailors and craftsmen to
work on Iberian soil. The discussion will be mainly
addressed on the one hand to assessing the impact
of these contacts on the local population and on the
other to clarifying how Nuragic Sardinia fitted into
a wider context of international relations between
the eastern Mediterranean and the Atlantic in
which, over time, the Phoenician element took on
an increasingly important role.

"Ripensando i contatti fra Sardegna e Penisola Iberica"

They adopted a similar type of sword starting frome the 11th millenium bc, also interestingly enough a stelae with the Name Tarshish (Tartessus) was found at Nora, in Sardinia, it's the only mention of Tartessus west of the Levant.

A Roman legend connects the foundation of Nora from colonizers who originated from Tartessus in Iberia, however from the archaeological record it seems it was the Sardinians going westwards and not the opposite.

It's a shame we didn't get any good book about the pre-roman (or during the conquest) books, something like the Gallic wars be Caesar or something, we have to piecemeal iberian and celtiberian history from a miriad of sources. Also than the few bronze and lead inscriptions are in a language than we can't decipher is another bummer.
Even people in the Peninsula tend to not care much about ancient iberian past (quite a shame because it's a fucking long time if you count the first hominids from 1.2millions years ago) but eh, at least we have cool ruins everywhere like los Millares (an early copper age settlement) and a fucktone of megaliths here and there.
