This article begins with a description of Celts in the Iberian peninsula, whom classical authors called ‘Celtiberians’. The Celtiberians were divided into numerous tribes, including the Belli, with their important settlement of Segeda in the valley of the Jalón; the Arevaci, with their capital of Numantia in the upper Duero basin, in the western part of the modern province of Soria; the Pelendones in the area between the Duero and the Moncayo; and the Berones on the upper Ebro in the locality of Briones, which was named after them. All these tribes first impinged upon the consciousness of the Romans in the first half of the second century
