Description
As I said in the concept sketches, I promised a friend I'd try my hand at making an Iberia at some point (also a few people were asking why he'd been missed off the ancients a-go-go picture, so yeah).Anyway, yes, here we have an Iberia. He's a very outgoing, friendly guy who is quick to pick things up and loves to learn - though he is prone to being easily influenced, not least by Phoenicia, Mama Greece and Gaul. This and his amicable nature meant he was often taken advantage of.
Gaul in the north was very much the big sisterly figure to him, influencing him heavily with her Celtic culture. He also had a close relationship with the stern Carthage who he had met through uncle Phoenicia (who had found him many years before). He helped him with trade and often joined him in battle, with Carthage growing very possessive of his friend.
With Carthage's fall, I am undecided on whether he died by Rome's hands or with Rome's fall (seeing as the province of Hispania initially encompassed the entire peninsula). Of course living past Rome would mean he'd have fun with the Visigoths and Byzantine pulling him back and forth.
In any case, his children went on to become Spain, Portugal, and Andorra.
All the images I've found for Iberian clothing seem to vary from Celtic to Phoenician. That unusual sword he's holding is supposed to be a falcata. They're kind of pretty.
Next up: Britannia.

It makes a pretty good prelude to Chibiromano and Spain, really.

Hmm, also an interesting idea. Like I said before, I think for a nation/empire to be killed, it has to have some kind of firm geo-political grounding beforehand, so like you're saying, the Iberian peninsula was fragmented enough for a "Boss Rome" scenario to have taken place
And yeah, England killing small (nation) children certainly isn't a pleasant thought.

To add a bit to this discussion about whether or not Iberia is killed by Rome, in this context Hispania didn't exactly have a centralized government prior to Rome, in the same context as Chibitalia (which represented the Northern half of Italy which was fragmented into little itty bitty states).
In that sense, he'd would probably be in the same condition as Chibitalia in the sense that he now had to work for "Boss Rome". In hindsight that would make Spain's control over little Romano quite a bit of historical payback. The more you make these things the more karmic some of the events in the actual series seem to be.
BTW, just the thought of England killing little America scares me.

Seeing as this shiny new account may have been made just to give said critique... sure. Just as long as it's constructive and not based on personal preference.

He isn't wearing Iberian clothes (I'm talking about the green mantle) and I think you should look for more information for his bio, or at least correct it because it's not good at all. Also, why didn't you talk about Celtiberians? They were REALLY important in Iberia history and you should mention them.
Also, he died by Rome's hands.
I didn't mean to offend, but if you create an OC please, look for the right information.

As I said on the clothing, I did have difficulties finding consistent references (a combination of my findings seemed preferable to just making something up). I also believe the information I gave is correct from what I've read. Please be more specific? Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the Celtiberians count as part of the Celtic influx being a Celtic people?
I'm afraid most of my reading was done online and from this book . If you have any recommendations, I would be happy to take them.
Finally, being killed by Rome's hands sounds like a personal preference (being Hetalia, history is open to many interpretations).

Well, when Rome came to Spain, his culture, traditions and language was stronger than Iberia's, so Rome conquered it and called it Hispania.

Of course, but historically so did England when colonising America. In Hetalia, however, we don't see England killing young America and replacing him. Also as I said in the comments, the Roman province "Hispania" initially encompassed the entire peninsula. It wasn't split (into sub-provinces) until some time later.

Aha, didn't see that this was in reply to my previous comment. In which case, colonisation of a peninsula or region is really not the same as bringing down a geopolitical entity such as an empire. Interpret it how you want, but this is how I like to see it.

I don't like so much DA, only I'm registeredbecause to comment here.
But if you don't like to feel frustrated for one critic... Well... it's my opinion, and I love the history, and If I see one thing that it's anachronic,I explain my opinion. It's completely legal... Or not?

Of course, as I've said you're completely free to interpret things as you'd like. However, with regards to the opening "critique" it seems that rather than doing so out of a genuine appreciation of history - say, by recommending me resources or reading material I can use (saying "you're wrong because I say so" is not valid critique, I'm afraid), it seems that much of what has been said is based on personal preference. And you are very welcome to comment with your preferences, but (if you will allow me to go full circle) you have to understand I have mine too.

You afirmed that no one civilitation was killed by Rome... because it's impossible in a hetalian universe... but... It's evident that afirmation it's not true... Because Rome was death by Germania. And none of "papas" or " grandpas" lives in the present... Mommy Greece, and moomy Egipt was deaht... and all old civilitations. It's evidence that conquer wars destroyed the rest of civilizations.

Does he have a human name (I only have an idea for his last name Torres, its a Basque last name and the closet I can get to a traditional Iberian name)
