Los vascones: un pueblo singular de la península ibérica, ligados al origen del euskera y mencionados por primera vez en fuentes romanas del siglo I a.C.
¿Prerromanos auténticos o producto histórico visible gracias a Roma? 🤔
#Historia #Vascones #Antigüedad

Los vascones aparecen en las fuentes escritas recién en el s. I a.C., cuando Roma ya dominaba Hispania.

¿Pueblo prerromano “invisible” hasta entonces, o grupo consolidado bajo la órbita romana?

First millennium CE literary texts describe the peoples of the western Pyrenees as ‘other’ & inferior than Rome & Christianity. In a new SSH article, Asier Aguirresarobe argues that this narrative of alterity influenced the development of Basque identity. Open access.

La Mano de Irulegi: descubierto el texto más antiguo en 'euskera'

The Hand of Irulegi (cool name!) has writing on it, and is from the time of the Vascones, the forerunners of the Basques. The one word that’s been deciphered so far is nearly the same as the modern Basque word for “fortunate”, so it’s probably a good luck amulet. It was not known before that the Vascones were literate before contact with the Romans; this shows that they were.

The words are engraved on a bronze hand that archaeologists unearthed in northern Spain

Smithsonian Magazine

A stunning new archeological find suggests that the Iron-Age Vascones of northern Spain (precursors of the Basque) actually had their own written language, and were not in fact illiterate until the Roman Empire as traditional history has had it.
