Battle of Numantia - Battle of Numantia
A battle (143-133 BC) between the Roman army and the Celtic Iberian (Celtic) tribes in Numantia (Spanish: Numancia), a strategic point in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula. In the early 2nd century BC, the Roman state made the Iberian Peninsula a province and oppressed the indigenous people in the interior. To that end, the people of Numantia, some 8,000 strong, barricaded themselves in a natural fortified city in a deep gorge upstream of the Douro River, and repeatedly put up a stubborn resistance that was reportedly extremely brutal.

イベリア半島北東部の要衝ヌマンティアNumantia(スペイン語ではヌマンシアNumancia)におけるケルト・イベリア(セルティベロ)部族とローマ軍との攻防戦(前143‐前133)。前2世紀初頭ローマ国家はイベリア半島を属州化すると,内陸部の土着民を圧迫した。そのために,ヌマンティアの人々はドウロ川上流に位置する深い峡谷の自然の要塞都市に立てこもり,総勢8000人余りで執拗な抵抗戦を繰り返したが,その様相は壮絶を極めたと伝えられている。
