Discussion of the Celts that inhabited the Iberian Peninsula.
The Iberian Peninsula was once a large Celtic structure, but much of what we know about these people come from either archaeological evidence, or very limited accounts done by ancient writers.
The earliest account of these people come from Herodotus who wrote very limited accounts in the mid-fifth-century BC.
The river Ister rises among the Celts and the town of Pyrene and crosses the whole of Europe. And the Celts are beyond the Pillars of Hercules [two promotories at the eastern end of the Straight of Gibraltar], next to the Cynetes, who lived furthest west of all peoples of Europe.
Herodotus, Histories, Book II. c. 425BC.
This will be a discussion of these people, in a general sense, and thier culture, religion, and expansion.
