The Iberian culture group has roots dating back to the Bronze Age, which began around 2,500 BCE. This culture was concentrated in the Iberian Peninsula, which is present-day Spain and Portugal. The Celtic culture group also emerged around this time and was found throughout Europe, including in the British Isles, France, and the Iberian Peninsula.
The Iberians are known for their metalworking, particularly with gold and silver, and their pottery. They also had a complex religious and social system, with evidence of fortified settlements and an organized military. The Celts, on the other hand, were known for their skill in metalworking, especially in the creation of weapons and jewelry. They were also skilled in agriculture and were known for their use of iron tools and plows.
These cultures contributed to their societies in many ways, including the development of advanced metalworking techniques, sophisticated agriculture, and organized military and social systems. They also left behind impressive architectural and artistic works, such as the Iberian stone sculptures and Celtic stone crosses.
The Iberian culture declined with the arrival of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century BCE, while the Celtic culture declined in the 1st century CE with the Roman conquest of Gaul. However, elements of both cultures can still be seen today in modern-day Spain, Portugal, France, and the British Isles, particularly in the languages, customs, and art of these regions.
