[QUOTE]Originally posted by IronLion: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by IronLion: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by IronLion: [qb] SICULI: "Ancient Sicilian tribe that occupied the eastern part of Sicily. Old tales related that the Siculi once lived in central Italy but were driven out and finally crossed to Sicily, leaving remnants behind.... They are hard to identify archaeologically, although some words of their Indo-European language are known." SICANI: "According to ancient Greek writers, the aboriginal inhabitants of western Sicily, as opposed to the Siculi of eastern Sicily. Archaeologically there is no substantial difference between Sicani and Siculi (Sicels) in historical times; [b]but ancient authorities believed the Sicani to be Iberians from Spain...."[/b] [/qb][/QUOTE]"...but Grand Master tell me, who are the Iberians?" THE IBERIANS [b]Historians have suggested that they may have originated in North Africa.[/b] This portion of the theory is supported by an observation of C. Michael Hogan who points out [b]similarities between Chalcolithic artefacts in Iberia with Neolithic pottery in parts of Morocco. [/b] The Iberians would have initially settled along the eastern coast of Spain, and then possibly spread throughout the rest of the Iberian Peninsula.... See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iberians [/qb][/QUOTE]THE IBERIANS contd. Iberian pottery has been found in France, Italy, and North Africa. The Iberians were placed under Carthaginian rule for a short time between the First and Second Punic Wars. They supplied troops to Hannibal's army. [/QB][/QUOTE]
