And “regular” as in, for example, ‘Alfama’ – the Celtiberian/Roman spa town mentioned by Martial, today Alhama de Aragón.

In addition to my own books on Ogam (shop.universitybooks.ie/Books/OGAM_9...) and Cisalpine Celtic (shop.universitybooks.ie/Books/CISALP...), the AELAW booklets on Gaulish and Celtiberian are now also available from universitybooks.ie (although they are not listed on the website yet).

Also... I'm curious how well-attested is Celtiberian compared to Gaulish?

At some point I'm gonna get to overhauling Wikipedia's coverage of the Iron Age Celts.

And I really can't wait for that!

It's probably gonna be years until I start this one, but I'm definitely already excited for it!

We also see some 'medium' infantry (unarmored melee 'contact' infantry) in ancient armies splitting the difference, often from poorer societies in places like Spain and Gaul.

Catullus 39: "The Smiling Spaniard" (x3)

now you're a Celtiberian: and in the Celtiberian land
early in the morning they piss and scrub their teeth and pinky gums with it
en.wikisource.org/wiki/Transla...
part.of transl by Peter Whigham Because he has bright white tecth, Eg natius whips out a tooth-flash on all possible (& impossible) occasions You're in court. Counsel for defence concludes a moving per- oration. (Grin.) At a funeral, on all sides heart-broken mothers weep for only sons. (Grin.) Where, when, whatever the place or time grin, It could be a sort of 'tic'. If so, it's a very vulgar tic, Egnatius, & one to be rid of. Literal English Translation Egnatius, because he has bright white teeth, always smiles: If someone comes to the defendant's bench, when the speaker arouses weeping, he grins; If there is mourning at the funeral pyre of a dutiful son, when the bereaved mother weeps for her only son, he grins. Whatever it Original Latin Line Egnātius, quod 39.1 candidõs habet 39.2 dentēs, 39.3 renTdet ūsque 39.4 quāque. Sĩ ad reĩ 39.5 ventum est 39.6 subsellium, cum 39.7 õrātor excitat 39.8 flētum, 39.9 renīdet ille; sĩ ad piT 39.10 rogum filī 39.11 lūgētur, orba cum 39.12 flet ūnicum māter, 39.13 renīdet ille. 39.14 Quidquid est, 39.15 ubīcumque est, 39.16 quodcumque agit, 39.1 transl Smithers Egnatius, who has shiny, white teeth, grins forever everywhere. If he is in court, when counsel excites tears, he grins. If he be at funeral pyre where one mourns a son devoted, where a bereft mother's tears stream for her only son, he grins. Whatever it may be, wherever he is, whatever may happen, he grins. Such an ill habit has he-neither in good taste, I suppose, nor refined. Therefore take note from me, my good Egnatius. Whether you are from the city or Sabine or Tiburtine, or a thrifty Umbrian or a fat Etruscan, or a dark, toothy Lanuvian, or Transpadine (to touch upon my own folk also), or whoever of those who cleanly wash their teeth, still I wish you wouldn't grin forever everywhere; for nothing is more senseless than senseless giggling. Now you're a Celtiberian: and in the Celtiberian land early in the morning they piss and scrub their teeth and pinky gums with it, so that the higher the polish on your teeth, the more it proclaims that you have drunk your piss.

Two reconstructive hypotheses of how the "Lady of Elche" bust could have looked like, if it was part of a complete statue.
I show the statue standing, in the style of the "Lady of Cerro de los Santos", and sitting, like the "Lady of Baza"

Castle of Coca, Segovia 🇪🇸

One of the finest examples of Spanish Mudejar brickwork, blending Moorish design with Gothic architecture.
The Castle of Coca, built in the mid-15th century by Archbishop Alonso de Fonseca, is a masterpiece of Mudejar-Gothic fusion, using red brick, Moorish ornamentation, and Gothic forms. More palatial than defensive, it reflects Spain’s late medieval cultural blending. The site also carries deep history, from Celtiberian roots to being the birthplace of Roman Emperor Theodosius I.

Spain, 1924, new dictatorship. A dancer with ruined legs. A manipulative goddess. Secret police closing in. Lovers plotting betrayal. Ancient Celtiberian gods returning to claim Spain with blood. Stopping them means giving up every dream she’s ever had. #A #F #Hist #Q #FIFRevpit #Mockpit

Horses were extremely important in celtiberian society, being maybe one of the most represented animals in both celtiberian pottery and metalsmithing.

Interesting how HP Lovecraft can make air conditioning seem terrifying (in the story Cool Air, though it was admittedly new then). It's nonetheless a good story. A pity about the racial stereotyping...
Heavy-accented landlady who is a walking Hispanic stereotype and then this description of Dr Muñoz
Dr. Muñoz, most certainly, was a man of birth, cultivation, and discrimination. The figure before me was short but exquisitely proportioned, and clad in somewhat formal dress of perfect cut and fit. A high-bred face of masterful though not arrogant expression was adorned by a short iron-grey full beard, and an old-fashioned pince-nez shielded the full, dark eyes and surmounted an aquiline nose which gave a Moorish touch to a physiognomy otherwise dominantly Celtiberian. Thick, well-trimmed hair that argued the punctual calls of a barber was parted gracefully above a high forehead; and the whole picture was one of striking intelligence and superior blood and breeding.

La Tene 1 swords - and even more often, local variants of them - show up in Celtiberian military kit, the spear-types are really similar (though hard to say that's influence because omni-spear) and I've seen 'Celtic' artistic motifs in objects associated with the Lusitani.

The seasons change for everyone, even for this peaceful Celtiberian village. 🏔️🌿

However, there is an uneasy feeling in the air, like something is looming on the horizon.

What fate awaits the people of Numantia in this upcoming #Spring? ⚔
