In ancient geography Iberia was a fertile district in Asia, between the Euxine and Caspian seas, which consisted of a plain surrounded by mountains, forming a part of modern Georgia.
Iberia was an ancient name of Spain, from its river, the Iberus (Ebro). The Iberi or Iberians, probably the most ancient European nation, formed the basis of the population of Italy, Gaul, Spain, and Lusitania (Portugal). Their language still lives in the Basque. The Celts, who entered the country later, were intermingled with them, the conjoined people being called Celtiberians. Research Iberia
