Time Travel Question : Medievalish 2

These Questions are the result of suggestions from the previous iteration.

This category may include suggestions made too late to fall into the correct earlier time grouping. Basically, I'd already moved on to human history, but I'd periodically get a pre-homin suggestion, hence the occasional random item waaay out of it's time period, rather than reopen the category.

In some cases a culture lasted a really long time and I grouped them by whether it was likely the later or earlier grouping made the most sense with the information I had. (Invention ofs tend to fall in an earlier grouping if it's still open. Ones that imply height of or just before something tend to get grouped later, but not always. Sometimes I'll split two different things from the same culture into different polls because they involve separate research goals or the like).

Please add new suggestions below if you have them for future consideration. All cultures and time periods welcome.

The basics of Iberian society

The Iberians were a collective of city-states in the Mediterranean area of the Iberian peninsula during the preroman era.

The biggest cities were populated by 1000 to 3000 people and were known to be great navigators and traders with the rest of the Mediterranian.

Many garments were similar in style and colour to the Greeks, as these also had city colonies built in these areas and tended to do business.

The cities varied in forms of government, from military dictatorships to lordships or councils of the elders of the city. Chiefdom societies had a relative unity through agreements and pacts between cities called "Ospitiums."

Being city-states, there was no linguistic unity, and generally, there was not a strong presence of a monetary system. So they relied on trade.

Unlike the Romans, they were a society without slaves, dedicated to trade, pottery and horse breeding.
