Definition: Celtiberian refers to the Arevaci, Belli, Titti, and Lusones tribes of Spain (Hispania) in which the stock was a mixture of Iberian and Celtic. Celtiberian also refers to the Celtic language and alphabet used in the area. The Celtiberians lived between the the Tagus and Iberus (Ebro) rivers. The Celtiberians were subjugated by Rome in 133 B.C., when Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus destroyed Numantia.
