Accompanied by a report of metallurgic analytical results, written by Metallurgist Dr. Brian Gilmour of the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art, University of Oxford. The Celtiberians were Celtic-speaking people of the Iberian Peninsula in the final centuries BC. Archaeologically, the Celtiberians participated in the Hallstatt culture in what is now north-central Spain. The term Celtiberi appears in accounts by Diodorus Siculus, Appian and Martial who recognised intermarriage between Celts and Iberians after a period of continuous warfare.The Celtiberians were the most influential ethnic group in pre-Roman Iberia, but they had their largest impact on history during the Second Punic War, during which they became the allies of Carthage in its conflict with Rome, and crossed the Alps in the mixed forces under Hannibal's command. As a result of the defeat of Carthage, the Celtiberians first submitted to Rome in 195 BC; Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus spent the years 182 to 179 BC pacifying the Celtiberians; however, conflicts between various semi-independent bands of Celtiberians continued. After the city of Numantia was finally taken and destroyed by Scipio Aemilianus Africanus the Younger after a long and brutal siege that ended the Celtic resistance (154-133 BC), Roman cultural influences increased. The Sertorian War, 80 to 72 BC, marked the last formal resistance of the Celtiberian cities to Roman domination, which submerged the Celtiberian culture. [2]

[A video of this lot is available on the TimeLine Auctions website] 1.2 kg, 23.5cm (9 1/4"). Fine condition, fire damaged and repaired. From an old Suffolk collection; formerly in a Huntingdon collection; 1990-2006.In the fifth century BC came the first written accounts of the Iberian Celts, by such writers as the Carthaginian Himilco, and Herodotus, who calls them the Cynetes. The colonial activities of the Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans offered a continuous supply of stimuli to the Celtic populations. The Iberian peninsula had important reserves of precious metals, and the Hallstatt inhabitants of central Europe held important trading links with the area. Scenes of warfare figure highly on the distinctive pottery of the area and could have been of a ritual nature. Large quantities of pottery were found at the hill fort of Numantia. This site is famous for its role in the Celtiberian Wars. In 133 BC the Roman Senate gave Scipio Aemilianus Africanus the task of capturing the city. After thirteen months of siege, the Celtiberians decided to burn their city and die free rather than surrender to Rome.

9th-11th century AD. A gold oval pendant with beaded rim, to the centre a filigree interlaced swastika with the ends of each arm in the form of a bird head with long arching beak with filigree decoration above; integral suspension loop with beaded border and pelta pattern between. [A video of this lot is available on the TimeLine Auctions website] 6.83 grams, 33mm (1 1/4"). Extremely fine condition.Property of a German gentleman; acquired on the European art market in the 1990s. Swastika is a Sanskrit word meaning 'it is well' and is a widespread good luck symbol, occurring at its earliest in Europe in Neolithic Crete, and in Asia Minor at Hissarlik in Anatolia. The motif was recurrent in the Greek world from Minoan and Mycenaean periods to Classical times. It is also found in the Celtic world, as well as in the Roman Empire, and is associated the beneficial power of the sun. In Scandinavia it is associated with the god Thor and may represent the thunderbolts that he hurls at giants and other chaotic forces.
