Relating to the ancient Celtiberi people of Spain, their mixed Celtic-Iberian culture, language, or traditions.
From Latin Celtibericus, derived from Celtiberi (the people themselves). English adopted this form in scholarly contexts during the 18th-19th centuries as archaeology and classical studies developed as academic fields.
Celtiberian art and coins show a fascinating blend—you see Celtic designs and motifs alongside completely different Iberian styles, making it almost like watching two cultures learning to speak each other's visual language.
