Iacetani

The Iberian Peninsula in the 3rd century BC.

The Iacetani or Jacetani (Ancient Greek: Ιακκητανοι, romanizedIakkētanoi, or Latin: iacetani) were a pre-Roman people who populated the area north of Aragon (Spain). They settled the Ebro valley, specifically in the area along the Pyrenees.[1] Its capital was Iaca (now Jaca). According to Strabo, their land stretched from the Pyrenees to Lleida and Huesca. It is believed that they could be related to the Aquitanes. They were known to stamp coins. They also appear in the texts of Pliny the Elder and Ptolemy.
