The image shows a museum exhibit inside the Museo Nacional de Antropología in Madrid, Spain (latitude: 40.424, longitude: -3.689). The exhibit features a large dark brown rectangular panel with a caption in Spanish and English about the territory and identity of the Iberian Peninsula. The exhibit text describes how the first writers to describe the peninsula used the term "Iberia" or "Hibernia," and that these writers traded with its inhabitants, but only knew those who lived near the eastern coast. The exhibit text goes on to explain that later, Greek and Latin writers accompanied Roman armies as they advanced across the peninsula and adopted names that differentiated the cultural groups of inhabitants of the land, which in addition to the Iberians and Hispani, included some of Celtic origin. The exhibit text describes many customs that were standard practice among contemporary cultures that were described as barbaric by writers of the second and first centuries BC, but that authors of the first century AD would later praise the local peoples and their combative spirit. The exhibit also features a large map of the Iberian Peninsula with the names of different places and regions in Spanish. The map is outlined in a gold-like frame.
