Presentation

The main objective of the HESPERIA Palaeohispanic Languages Database is to collect, organise and process all the ancient linguistic material relating to the Iberian Peninsula (and any related material in the south of France), with the exception of Latin, Greek and Phoenician inscriptions. Thus, the HESPERIA Database includes:

• every text in the Palaeohispanic languages (Iberian, Celtiberian, Lusitanian and the language of the Southwestern inscriptions).
• Palaeohispanic coin legends.
• indigenous onomastics (anthroponyms, toponyms, ethnonyms and theonyms in the aforementioned languages, as well as those of Vasconian and Turdetanian) conveyed in Greco-Latin epigraphic or literary sources.
• Hispanic glosses conveyed by ancient authors. 

The HESPERIA Palaeohispanic Languages Database is maintained by a team of researchers at the Complutense University in Madrid, the University of the Basque Country, the University of Zaragoza and the University of Barcelona, with funding from the Spanish Government Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness.
