6. The Iberian Script
The partial decipherment of the ancient Iberian script has opened new avenues to understanding Spain’s pre-Roman cultures. Recent research by the University of Barcelona has revealed inscriptions detailing social structures, religious practices, and interactions with neighboring peoples. These findings highlight the distinctiveness of Iberian civilization, even as they absorbed influences from Celtic and later Latin traditions, painting a more nuanced portrait of the Iberian Peninsula before Roman conquest.
