Ausetani facts for kids
The Ausetani were an ancient group of people who lived in the Iberian peninsula a very long time ago. This was even before the Romans arrived and called the area Hispania. The Ausetani were part of a larger group called the Iberians.
Historians believe they spoke a language known as the Iberian language. They lived in a region that was later named Ausona after them. The Roman city of Ausa also got its name from these people.
Ausetani Culture and Coins
The Ausetani were known for their unique culture. One interesting fact about them is that they made their own coins! These coins had a special message written on them.
What Was on Their Coins?
The coins had the word ausesken written in a script called the northeastern Iberian script. Experts believe this word meant "from the Ausetani" or "from those of Ausa." It was like a way for them to say, "We are the Ausetani people!" This shows they had a strong sense of who they were.
