{{Short description|Pre-Roman people of the Iberian Peninsula}}
The '''Ausetani''' were an ancient [[Iberians|Iberian]] (pre-[[Ancient Rome|Roman]]) people of the [[Iberian Peninsula]] (the Roman [[Hispania]]). They are believed to have spoken the [[Iberian language]]. They lived in the eponymous region of [[Ausona]] and gave their name to the Roman city of ''Ausa''. 

==Culture==
The Ausetani minted their own coins which bore the inscription ''ausesken'' in [[northeastern Iberian script]] that is interpreted in [[Iberian language]] as a self-reference to the ethnic name of that people: from the Ausetani or from those of ''Ausa''.
