The Iberian Peninsula on the periphery of the Greek World The Iberian Peninsula is located in the western part of the Mediterranean, far from the cultural centers that fostered the main social and political developments throughout the first millenium BC. Nevertheless, it did not remain on the sidelines of the Mediterranean influences; from the beginning the presence of navigators and Punic traders have been detected, first Phoenicians, mainly in the zone South, and later Greeks, in the north.

The colonies, the emporia and centers exploiting resources constituted important points of contact with the native populations, through which an exchange of goods, services and ideas took place. From the first systematic contacts, silver was an important commodity for these traders and navigators and it very soon impregnated the life of the most developed populations of the Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula. The land and its people The Iberian Peninsula was a territory inhabited by a remarkable variety of cultures with very different levels of social, political and economic development, depending on whether they were located on the coast, where contacts with traders and navigators extended advances and innovations, or inland, where access was more difficult. Between the native groups that lived in the Iberian Peninsula we find, on the South and the Mediterranean coast, a Late Bronze native people who evolved towards the Iberian culture, influenced by contacts with Greeks and Phoenicians. Some of their populations reached a notable urban development and they were structured in stratified social hierarchies. They spoke a non Indo-European language. Inside the Iberian Peninsula, to the south of the Ebro river and in the Eastern part of both Mesetas, were the Celtiberians; some of their populations developed forms of urban organization. The Greek influences arrived indirectly, through their contacts with the Iberians. Their language belonged to the Indo-European family. Priest. Cádiz. 7th century BC 3
