The Poemani tribe made their home in what is now Galicia, Spain. This region is in the northwest corner of the Iberian Peninsula. The specific area they lived in was called Terra Chá. This name means "flat land" in Galician. It is a region with wide, open spaces and fertile ground.
Life in Ancient Gallaecia
Life for the Poemani, like other Celtic tribes in Gallaecia, was likely centered around farming and raising animals. They would have grown crops and kept livestock to feed their communities. They also had skilled craftspeople who made tools, weapons, and jewelry. These tribes often lived in fortified villages called "castros." These were usually built on hills for protection.
