Talk:Sertorian War

Spaniards?
I'm pretty sure there where no Spaniards back then. Spain and Portugal only came several centuries later. "Celtiberian tribes" would be more correct, but I'm not sure. I am pretty sure "Spaniards" is definitely incorrect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.22.99.55 (talk) 17:03, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Sertorius was backed by both Lusitanians and Celtiberians -Hispanics perhaps?Dejvid (talk) 18:39, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Neither Hispanics nor Spaniards. Celtiberians is the best term to use.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:30, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
 * It was the Lusitanians who initially invited Sertorius to Hispania. Celtiberian support only came later.  A term is needed that covers both groups.  Hence Cetliberian is in correct except in cases where Celtiberians were exclusively involved.Dejvid (talk) 12:20, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I also think that saying Spaniards does not make sense in the context. Hispani would be the proper term.--Xareu bs (talk) 08:09, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Most historians seem happy with Spaniards but I would not object to Hispanics or Hispani. It does seem to to be a little jargonish so I myself don't intend to make such a change.Dejvid (talk) 17:58, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
