Y lo más difícil: Una maravilla.. -Buenas , estuve revisando la facción de los íberos y para hacerla históricamente más fiel a ser posible , vi que los héroes de la facción y también los nombres de los líderes que aparecen cuando te enfrentas a la máquina , todos menos Indíbil no son íberos; -"Viriato"(Lusitano),"Caro de Segeda"( Celtíbero),"Tautalus"(Lusitano),"Ditalco"(Turdetano),"Minuro"(Turdetano) y "Audax"(Turdetano). Fuentes; http://arquehistoria.com/fueron-celtas-los-lusitanos-17937 https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minuro https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caro_de_Segeda -De ahí que les presente estos posibles líderes íberos para ser los héroes de la facción; "Indíbil "(tribu "Ilergetes" o "Iltirgesquios" -tribu íbera en Cataluña-),"Mandonio "(tribu"Ausetanos"-tribu íbera en Cataluña-) y "Orisón"(tribu"Oretanos"-tribu íbera de Castilla la Mancha -).

("Indíbil" y "Mandonio") ("Estatuas" Indíbil es el que tiene barba y bigote , el otro es mandonio) -Como recomendación , es difícil encontrar el origen étnico de muchos lideres de la Península Ibérica prerromana , por eso yo pondría el nombre solo de las tribus iberas (para evitar ambigüedad) cuando te enfrentas a la máquina(podrían hacer lo mismo con los Galos y los Britanos) .Ni los Túrdulos ni los Turdetanos son íberos , solo tienen influencia cultural , ya que son los descendientes de la antigua cultura de Tartessos .Los Lobetanos tampoco son íbero, ellos eran Celtiberos. Tribus íberas ; Contestanos ,ilercavones , Ausescos , Sordones , Lacetanos , Castelanos , Bástulos , Indigesquios , Eisdetes/Edetanos , Layeskos , Contestanos ,Oretanos , iltirgeskios ,Jacetanos, Ceretanos , Cosetanos y Sedeskios .

Así cambiarían la actual maravilla de origen de la cultura de -Tartessos-; "Cancho Roano"(que no es íbero). Mirar el vídeo exactamente entre los minutos 1:48 y 2:21 ,pero recomiendo ver los escasos 7 minutos que dura y merece la pena pero recomiendo ver los escasos 7 minutos que dura que creo que merece la pena.

Duileoga Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Velo, manto y túnica son los tres elementos del traje femenino ibero. ---El velo a veces se confunde con el manto, aunque el triangular que cubre la parte posterior de la cabeza y llega hasta los hombros es inconfundible. Hay, además, un velo propio de las "sacerdotisas" que va sobre la mitra o la peineta y llega hasta los muslos. ---El manto es la última pieza de la vestimenta. Consiste en una pesada prenda que cubre los hombros, la espalda y los brazos de la figura. Es la prenda que envuelve toda la figura llegando hasta los pies, que aparece sobre todo en las estatuas de piedra. Se clasifican los mantos en rectangulares, semicirculares y con mangas. Los rectangulares se separan según su tamaño y su forma de sujeción. Los semicirculares se distinguen en abiertos y cerrados. ---Se distinguen también hasta cuatro tipos de túnica, traje de mangas cortas que cubre toda la figura hasta los tobillos, atendiendo a la forma de terminar la prenda. Aunque tienen parecidos con prendas similares de la cuenca del Mediterráneo, su origen parece local. Hay, además, toda una serie de adornos que servían para realzar la belleza de las mujeres iberas, destacando entre ellos los variados collares de las grandes Damas (Elche, Baza y El Cerro de los Santos) y los también abundantes de los bronces y terracotas. También son frecuentes los cinturones, pendientes, brazaletes y pulseras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His magnificent drawings were later imitated by others (for example, Alcaide and Vela) and have created—above all among amateurs— the idea of a cataphract “armoured” cavalry, which never existed in Iberia, nor in all the Mediterranean region in this period. Even in the far-off Persian world, during this period there was only some much lighter barding in use.All the figures on the Vessel wear a type of coselete (light armour vest), perhaps with sleeves made from another material. The part which covers the chest (sometimes down to the diaphragm, sometimes to the belly) is covered with a scaled pattern which has caused many to think of metallic protection. Moreover, the lower abdomen is covered with what, without doubt, appears to be pteryges, hanging strips of organic material (usually leather or linen) which gave the wearer a certain degree of protection without restricting their movement. They seem to be wearing some type of metallic armour of which there were a great variety in use from Greece to the south of Gall via Italy. The majority of those who support this theory – including the aforementioned artist– believe that the Vessel depicts scaled armour. This type of armour was usually made up of small plates, normally made of bronze, sewn onto a textile support. It is a type of armour well-known in the western Mediterranean and Asia from the Bronze Age, and to a far lesser extent in Greece during the Iron Age. However, in Iberia (as in the Celtic world) no scaled armour of this type is known, nor represented on other media (sculptures, offerings, or even other ceramics). It was rare even in Italy, and in the classical Greek world it was used only occasionally as a complement to a type of textile armour (linothorax). But at the end of the third century neither the Carthaginians nor Romans appear to have used this type of protection; the legionaries in particular, as Polybius says (VI, 23, 14-15), wore a small bronze square on their chest at the most, and only the most affluent wore a coat of iron chainmail. This second option —the coat of mail— has also been suggested for the warriors, but these coats of mail from the 3rd to 2nd centuries BCE did not have pteryges and were furthermore an absolutely rarity in Iberia. Moreover, the decorative pattern used on the Vessel does not seem to be that for ring-woven mail, which is usually depicted in a different way in the visual arts.Finally, other authors have suggested armour made from bronze sheets, small rectangular plates sewn together, of which there is no iconographic or archaeological evidence in Iberia and which was not used – or barely used– in the central Mediterranean region in this period. Moreover, plate armour is normally depicted in a much simpler way using a pattern of small squares or rectangles. Only the penultimate infantryman has his entire torso covered by a pattern of crossed lines forming small diamonds (which only cover the abdomen and belly of the rest of the figures), but the diagonal lines would not be adequate to represent plate amour, whose lines are clearly vertical and horizontal,and are represented in this way on some small Etruscan offerings, for example. The most probable explanation is that the warriors are wearing a type of quilted protection, more likely made from textile than leather. In fact, the scale pattern was, for example, used on Greek ceramics to represent both metal scales and organic protective wear (the aegis or skin of AmaltheaÂ’s goat which protected Athena) and even the wings of deities such as Thanatos and Hypnos, such as on the famous vessel decorated by the painter Euphronios. In fact, Anderson explained many years ago that the scales in Greek black-figure paintings were normally used to indicate “hair on a hide... or even as a decorative motif on cloth”.

What will be our stand on the presented issues with the use of scale armor for the Iberian faction? @Ultimate Aurelian and @Genava55 seem to support the idea of organic armor versus the use of scales. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no evidence for mail skirt (only use of mail in region was by Celtiberians, who wore normal mail shirts) more likely the lower part was organic as well, a sort of fringe or Pteryges. The idea of making your waist more protected than your chest, does not make much sense. Edited October 27, 2020 by Ultimate Aurelian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
