Historical background


HISPANIA - SPAIN - VASCONES - TURIASU - (Province of Zaragoza - Tarazona)

(2nd-1st century BC)

The territory of the Vascons extended over the current Basque Country and Navarre including the city of Zaragoza. Turiasu is located on the Ebro and has been identified with certainty as ancient Tarazona in the province of Zaragoza at an important crossroads where the different influences between Sedetanos, Basques and Celtiberians mingle; influences that caused a great typological variety.
