The Titii were a small and obscure Celtiberians Celtiberian people whose lands where located along the middle Jal n river Jal n and upper Taju a valleys, somewhere between Alhama de Arag n in Zaragoza and Molina de Arag n in Guadalajara provinces. Culture Due to the lack of extensive archaeological surveying surveys , no Iron Age settlements connected with this people were ever found in the area. Nevertheless, analysis of numismatic finds from the Jal n river Jal n Taju a ancient Tagonius area has led some archaeologists to relate the mints of three unknown Celtiberians Celtiberian towns Araticos , Titum and Titiacos with the Titii, pointing Titum as their presumed capital Citation needed date December 2009 . History Often mentioned in the ancient sources as allies or clients of the Belli , they were subjected to Turboletae raids in the 3rd century BC and seem to have submitted by Carthage just prior to the 2nd Punic War , but what role they played in that conflit remains obscure. However, during the Celtiberian Wars of the 2nd Century BC they sided with the Belli and Arevaci against Rome , being recorded as one of the signataries of the peace treaty with Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus in 179 BC ref Appian , Iberik , 44 ref . The Titii retained their political autonomy until their inclusion into Hispania Citerior province in 134 BC, and thereafter cease to be mentioned by the sources. After 72 BC however, they too merged with the Belli , Uraci and Cratistii tribes to create the Late Celtiberian people of romanized southern Celtiberia , losing their tribal identity in the process.

In 181, several tribes along the Ebro , especially the Lusones , rebelled against Roman rule. Appian cites their reason as a lack of land on which to live. They were quickly put down by the consul Quintus Fulvius Flaccus and scattered. Some fled to Complega , then a newly fortified city, from which they made demands on the Roman general, but after his approach they fled. In 179, Flaccus was succeeded by Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus. Gracchus quickly went to the rescue of the besieged city of Caravis and then took the city of Complega. He divided up the land among the poor and signed treaties with all of the tribes. His success in establishing peace made him much admired in both Hispania and Rome, where he arrived to a triumph.

The Turboletae or Turboleti were an obscure pre Ancient Rome Roman people from ancient Spain , which lived in the northwest Teruel province since the early 3rd Century BC. Origins Their origins are difficult to determine, though it seems that they were of part Celts Celtic , part Illyrian descent, being confused by some ancient authors with the Iberian Turdetani of Baetica . Citation needed date December 2009 Culture Their capital was the town of Turba , Turbola or Turbula Citation needed date December 2009 , whose precise location is unknown, with some archeologists tentatively placing it at the Iron Age site of Alto Ch con Muela de San Juan , in the vicinity of modern Teruel . No other pre roman sites connected with this people have been identified though recent archeological surveys at some Iron Age settlements in the Teruel region show that they were culturally affiliated with the Celtiberians . History A warlike people whose tribal name later became a byword for unruly behaviour, the Turboletae were a constant source of trouble to most of their neighbours. Not only they harassed the Celtiberians Celtiberian Belli and Titii Celtiberian Titii , but also raided the southeastern Iberian peoples throughout most of the 3rd century BC, in particularly the Edetani city state of Saguntum ref Appian , Iberik , 10 ref . As allies of Carthage the Turboletae actively participated in the incident that triggered the 2nd Punic War , the siege of Saguntum in 219 218 BC, where they assisted the Carthaginian troops in the final assault and looting of the city, slaughtering a great deal of its inhabitants. The backlash came in 212 BC when the Romans and their Edetani allies invaded Turboletania , seized the capital Turba and razed it to the ground, selling his residents to slavery ref Livy , Ab Urbe Condita , 24, 42, 11 ref .

They also included people of Celtiberians Celtiberian and native Iberian Tartessian affiliation, and it has been suggested that their language was a form of Proto Germanic . Citation needed date December 2009 Culture Archeological evidence retrieved from local Iron Age Hill fort hillforts such as Alarcos and Castro de Valdepe as confirm that Germani culture was strongly influenced by their southeastern Iberians Iberian neighbours and the Celtiberians .
