Abstract


Since the 80´s-90’s up to nowadays, archaeological research has represented the hill-forts Iron Age society from Northwestern Iberian peninsula (Cultura castrexa) as a peaceful world. This paper reviews some archaeological items (weapons, helmets and hill-fort walls) and compares them with what can be known from Greek and Roman written sources. Its aim is to criticize that hypothesis and to reintroduce war as a basic element to understand the Iron Age world of this Iberian territories.
