tinoesroho Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) I suggest... Eacus - Romano-Iberian weather god, equivalent to Jupiter. Rah! A good candidate considering that it's an Iberian related deity. Edited March 25, 2011 by tinoesroho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumo Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Not easy to find a well known (celt)-iberian word. My suggestion would be EBRO (the river) from the Greek Ἑβρος. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeru Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 No decision will be made until the last few days before Alpha 5, that could be weeks from now.More suggestions are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMST Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 A cool name would be "Epona", which is a Celtic warrior goddess, though I'm not sure how that would relate to the Iberians.A shame you won't put off the Iberians to Alpha 6, 'cause then you could name the child "Falcata".

oshron Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 why not that, then? "epona" sounds like a much better idea since its a recognizeable name, even if it IS more associated with a nintendo game than celtic mythology Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know it relates to Iberia in any ways either, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeru Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Emporion (First Greek colony in Iberia - Founded in 8th century BC)Edetani (Iberian tribe)Ebusos (Carthaginian colony in Iberia) (Source for the above 3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMST Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 "Emporion" is a mindblowingly generic name for a settlement, similiar as if some British colonists in the New World would've called their colony "Market". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeru Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 They called practically every other town "Newton" (< "New Town" < "New Towne").Seriously, couldn't they think of something more descriptive for a place other than that it's new and it's a town?

Shield Bearer Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 lol, if I'm not mistaken, I think there are many places called New Market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davarish Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) I would suggest the word "efippos" that comes from the ancient Greek word "έφιππος" that means "man on a horse" Edited April 14, 2011 by Davarish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCycoONE Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Epicurus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicurus) - Ancient Greek philosopher who taught that pleasure was good, that Gods didn't punish people, and that the world was made up of tiny atoms.

Jubalbarca Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I'd vote Ebro, as it was so important in Iberian history of the period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeru Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Jubalbarca, I thought about that too but I wasn't sure if it was a good suggestion.The Romans named this river Iber (Iberus Flumen)' date=' hence its current name (but it probably derives from the Greek Hèvros, Ἑβρος). Arguably the whole peninsula and some of the peoples living there were named after the river[/quote']. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
