Filología Griega y Lingüística Indoeuropea, Universidad Complutense de Madrid Abstract Although there is no direct extant record of the language spoken by any of the peoples of ancient Callaecia, some linguistic information can be recovered through the analysis of the names (personal names, names of deities, ethnonyms, and place-names) that occur in Latin inscriptions and in ancient Greek and Latin sources. These names prove the presence of speakers of a Celtic language in this area, but there are also names of other origins. Keywords Onomastics, place-names, Palaeohispanic languages, epigraphy, historical linguistics 1. Introduction1 In this paper I will try to provide a general overview of the linguistic situation in ancient Callaecia by analyzing the linguistic evidence provided both by the literary and the epigraphic sources available in this westernmost area of continental Europe.

  • The Celts in Iberia: an Overview
    The Celts in Iberia: An Overview Alberto J. Lorrio, Universidad de Alicante Gonzalo Ruiz Zapatero, Universidad Complutense de Madrid Abstract A general overview of the study of the Celts in the Iberian Peninsula is offered from a critical perspective. First, we present a brief history of research and the state of research on ancient written sources, linguistics, epigraphy and archaeological data. Second, we present a different hypothesis for the "Celtic" genesis in Iberia by applying a multidisciplinary approach to the topic. Finally, on the one hand an analysis of the main archaeological groups (Celtiberian, Vetton, Vaccean, the Castro Culture of the northwest, Asturian-Cantabrian and Celtic of the southwest) is presented, while on the other hand we propose a new vision of the Celts in Iberia, rethinking the meaning of "Celtic" from a European perspective. Keywords Celts, Iberian Peninsula, Iron Age, Celtiberians, Indo-European. 1. Introduction Textbooks on European prehistory published during the last seventy-five years confirm that ever since the first theories were formulated at the beginning of the nineteenth century, the Celts have played a crucial role in studies of European protohistory. The Celts have even been accused of taking over Europe during the Iron Age, through the cultures of Hallstatt and La Tène. Any conclusions drawn by European historiography about the Celts have been based on the image conjured up by Classical sources and the archaeological and cultural evidence collected at La Tène. It was only during the mid 1980s that scholars began to debate this issue and started to break away from the conventional established image of the Celts (Collis 2003; Ruiz Zapatero 1993, 2001).

  • Paleoetnografía De Gallaecia 1
    Paleoetnografía de Gallaecia 1. INTRODUCCION Gallaecia nace en época de Augusto quien, en una fecha discutida’, separó Gallaecia y Asturia de la Lusitania para incorporarlas a la Citerior, siendo el Dolores Dopico Cainzos* río Duero el nuevo limite entre ambas regiones, Pilar Rodríguez AlVarez* Lusitania y Gallaecia. Este hecho aparece reflejado en Estrabón cuando dice que algunos de los l..usitanas «ahora» se llaman Kalaikoi, es decir,Gailaeci (3, 3, 2), o cuando hace referencia explícita a la remadelación de las provincias hispánicas (3. 4, 20), y afirma que «en caníraste can las de hoy (en el momento en que escribe) algunos también a éstos (gallacel) les llaman Lusitanos» (3, 3, 3). Una ínscripción de Bracara Augusta dedicada por Callaecia a un nieto de Augusto (CIL, II, 2422 ILS, 6922)2, confirma la creación de Gallaecia como región o unidad política en época de Augusto. Una región que no fue «inventada» por las romanas en función exclusivamente de unas necesidades militares y estratégicas, sino que éstos, simplemente dieron forma, existencia histórica a unos territorios que tenían una entidad cultural bien definida, la cultura castreña ~. El nombre de Cailaecia lo tomaron los romanas de un pueblo, las Cailaeci, situada al sur del con ventus Bracaraugustanus ya que, según Estrabón, las demás tribus eran pequeñas y de poca importancia (3, 3, 3,). Esta denominación Callaicus ya la había recibido el general romana Brutus por sus victorias sobre estos pueblos. Gracias a Plinio, sabemos que en el NO peninsular había tres conventus, dos de los cuales, el Lucensis y el Bracaraugustanus, nos interesan aquí porque a ellas estaban adscritos las Gallaeci.

  • Sur Quelques Similitudes Toponymiques Galaïco-Basques Et Le Problème Que Posent Certaines D'entre Elles
    Hector IGLESIAS SUR QUELQUES SIMILITUDES TOPONYMIQUES GALAÏCO-BASQUES ET LE PROBLÈME QUE POSENT CERTAINES D'ENTRE ELLES Bien que les études toponymiques concernant la Galice aient toujours été beaucoup moins nombreuses que celles ayant pour objet le Pays Basque ou la Catalogne, il existe néanmoins certains articles et ouvrages linguistiques de gran­ de qualité. Ces derniers mentionnent plusieurs noms de lieux galiciens, particu­ lièrement ceux d'origine latino-romane ainsi que ceux issus du germanique, les principaux travaux étant surtout ceux de Joseph M. Piel. Les travaux de Joan Coromines, dont l'œuvre est pourtant considérable, n'ont abordé que quelques rares points de toponymie galicienne1. On peut dire que les études toponymiques se trouvent actuellement en Galice dans un état moins avancé que dans d'autres régions d'Europe, vraisemblable­ ment pour des raisons que nous aborderons plus loin. Dans le domaine de la topo­ nymie dite pré-indo-européenne, il faut mentionner un court, mais fort intéres­ sant, article de J. Gifford. L'auteur y souligne, sans pour autant les commenter, plusieurs similitudes présumées entre certains toponymes navarrais et certains toponymes galiciens. Au début du siècle, D. Ramón Menéndez Pidal2, le maître de la philologie espagnole, avait déjà signalé que certains suffixes tels que -barre, -toi et -oi appa­ raissaient dans divers endroits de la péninsule, tantôt en Galice et dans les Asturies, tantôt dans les Pyrénées occidentales. En outre, plusieurs auteurs, dont Henri Gavel3 et Fredrick Jungemann4, entre autres, avaient également noté cer­ tains parallélismes phonétiques entre ces régions pyrénéennes et cantabriques. Ces connexités phonétiques et toponymiques cantabro-pyrénéennes, et en parti­ culiers les basco-galaïques, posent certains problèmes, relativement complexes, qui n'ont toujours pas été résolus.
