No, that's accurate. According to Livy (IV, 238.4) there was a large exodus of Iberian nobles in 292 BC which encountered fierce resistance as they fought their way across much of modern-day Europe. Eventually defeated in Baktrian lands, they were given the choice of subjugation or eradication. However, the Baktrians were impressed with their ferocity in battle and over time they grew to positions of great prominence. It became fashionable to employ these Celtiberean "giants" as guards amongst the Baktrian elite, leading to the quote by Baktrian basileos Hartabarxes III: "Oskonsantos Lusotan proximus e vamenos." ("The mountains of Lusotan ever surround me.")Originally Posted by Lusted
