I don't think that's completely true. Yes, the vast majority of the information we can find on this period is from the Roman or Hellenic point of view, but I believe the EB team does have members with archaeological training who have access to the archaeological resources/information on the archaeological resources of other peoples in the period (which, obviously, are not from the Roman point of view).
Also not true. The EB team does have individuals with advanced degrees in fields pertaining to this historical period, it's part of the reason there is so much depth to the mod.
The only references to "Spain" that I've ever noticed were references to "modern-day Spain" as a geographical entity to better explain the position of ancient peoples and cities to the modern individual. When they do so, I'm sure the team are not implying Spain and the Iberian peninsula are the same thing, but rather just explaining to us that the Cantabrians, for example, are from north-eastern Spain, not north-eastern Portugal. It's just a mechanism of explanation for someone who is used to a modern map. Are there references to Spain in an ancient context as well?
