[[File:Iberians 800BC.svg|thumb|The Iberian tribes territory in 800 BC. The Vrāteres were not Iberians (Ibēres) but a Celto-Iberian tribe that was later assimilated.]] | |||
The Iberian peoples are an Indo-European people that first appeared during the [[w:Atlantic Bronze Age|Atlantic Bronze Age]], migrating from the Southwest of modern France to the Southeast of Iberia. There, they developed into many divided tribes who would later - with the arrival of the [[w:Ancient Greece|Ancient Greeks]] and their contact with them - reunite into a single tribe ruled by a so called '''[[Contionary:Teutārēks|Teutārēks]]''' (a leader similar to a king without the army control). Their territory was about the same until the arrival of the Ancient Greeks in [[w:Empúries|Emporion]]. | The Iberian peoples are an Indo-European people that first appeared during the [[w:Atlantic Bronze Age|Atlantic Bronze Age]], migrating from the Southwest of modern France to the Southeast of Iberia.

When the Greeks arrived and founded the cities of [[w:Rhode|Rhode]] and [[w:Empúries|Emporion]], the Iberians had already expanded into the region and thereafter they established commercial relations with them. As the time passed and the contact became stronger, the Iberians adopted Greek technologies (state and army organization, democracy, capital, etc.) and parts of culture/religion (architecture, gods, statues). After about 100 years of direct contact (c. 480 BC), the Greeks were integrated into the new Iberian state, though the contact with [[w:Massalia|Massalia]] was kept and Emporion and Rhode became the main commercial centres in Iberia. | When the Greeks arrived and founded the cities of [[w:Rhode|Rhode]] and [[w:Empúries|Emporion]], the Iberians had already expanded into the region and thereafter they established commercial relations with them.

With the new concepts adopted from the Greeks, the Iberians seeked to expand westwards to gather more resources and comercialize them (mostly with Greeks and Romans). The tribes located in the center of Iberia were quickly dominated as they had a similar culture and language as the Iberians. While expandind westwards, they found the bellicose tribes of the Callaeci and Lusitani, which resisted against their control. After years of war, the Lusitani had accepted a truce as being a state under Iberian control, holding total state autonomy while having to provide soldiers or army supplies if needed. The Callaeci still resisted until much after. | With the new concepts adopted from the Greeks, the Iberians seeked to expand westwards to gather more resources and comercialize them (mostly with Greeks and Romans).
