Ilercavones

The name Ilercavonia to refer to the territory occupied by this Iberian tribe appears in ancient Greek and Roman texts and documents and it was still mentioned in medieval texts.

[2] The Ilercavones as a nation or tribe were already mentioned by Pliny the Elder, who said that they inhabited the lands between river Udiva (possibly the Millars River) and further north of the Ebro, and by Ptolemy, who named the cape and the harbor where they lived Tenebri (possibly Orpesa).

They were mentioned as well as by Livy in his texts describing the first phase of the Roman invasion of Iberia.

Gradually, they became assimilated into the Roman population, especially after acquiring the Latin language as their own vernacular.
