Iberian jar from the 3rd century BC. Polychrome ceramic. Measures: 45 x 35 cm (diameter). Globular body jar decorated with reddish horizontal bands, wide and sharply delimited, with dotted details in its upper part (near the mouth). Its structure has a belly and a wide mouth, intended for food storage, with two small lateral handles. Iberian society was strongly hierarchical, with the warrior and noble class being the highest. The priestly class competed with it in power, and the artisans were also well considered. Among the neighboring peoples, and especially among the Greeks, the Iberian warriors were especially admired, since they threw themselves into combat without fear and resisted fighting without retreating until death, even when the battle was already decided against them. In fact, the Greeks even hired Iberian mercenaries for their own wars. Dimensions 45 x 35 cm (diameter).
