Английская Википедия:Berones
The Berones were a pre-Roman Celtic people of ancient Spain, although they were not part of the Celtiberians, they lived north of the Celtiberians and close to the Cantabrian Conisci[1] in the middle Ebro region between the Tirón and Alhama rivers.
Origins
The ancestors of the Berones were Celts[2] who migrated from Gaul to the Iberia around the 4th century BC[3][4] to settle in La Rioja and the southern parts of the Soria, Álava and Navarre provinces.
Location
A stock-raising people that practiced transhumance, their capital was Varia or Vareia (Custodia de Viana; Celtiberian-type mint: Uaracos Auta?), situated near Logroño at the middle Ebro in La Rioja and controlled the towns of Libia (Herramélluri or Leiva – La Rioja), Tritium Megallum (Tricio), Bilibium (Bilibio, near Conchas de Haro – La Rioja) and Contrebia Leukade (Aguillar del Rio Alhama – La Rioja).
History
Allies of the Autrigones,[5] the Berones appear to have kept themselves out of the Celtiberian confederacy throughout the 3rd-2nd centuries BC but later came under pressure of the Vascones. Their earliest contact with Rome might have occurred during the early 2nd century BC, when they allegedly fought as allies of the Celtiberians at the battle of Calagurris in 186 BC, being defeated by the Praetor of Hispania Citerior Lucius Manlius Adicinus Fulvianus.[6] According to a Roman epigraphic source, the Ascoli-Picenum bronze (now at the Museo Capitolino, Rome),[7] Beronian mercenary cavalrymen later entered Roman service at the Social War (91–88 BC), fighting alongside other Spaniards in the Turma Saluitana[8] as auxiliary cavalry in Italy though they subsequently aided their Autrigones' allies in the defence of their respective territories in northern Celtiberia against Sertorius' invasion attempt in 76 BC.[9] They disappear as an independent people in the classical sources in about 72 BC, after the end of the Sertorian Wars, although some towns maintained their culture for a certain time due to a late Romanization.
