An ancient people of the Iberian Peninsula (modern Spain) who blended Celtic and Iberian cultures and languages.
From Latin Celtiberi, a combination of Celtae (Celts) and Iberi (Iberians), used by Roman historians like Livy and Strabo to describe this mixed population. The name reflects how Roman scholars categorized peoples they encountered.
The Celtiberians created a completely unique culture by blending two different peoples, and their amazing art style shows Celtic patterns mixed with Iberian designs—they're a real-world example of how cultures can merge and create something entirely new.
