Bastetani
_01.jpg){kind=link}
The Bastetani or Bastuli were an ancient Iberian (pre-Roman) people of the Iberian Peninsula (the Roman Hispania). They are believed to have spoken the Iberian language.[1] The relationship between the Iberian Bastetani and the Tartessian Mastieni (who lived in Mastia, on the southeastern coast of the peninsula) is not entirely clear.[2][3]
Their territory Bastetania [1] extended through the southeastern Iberian Peninsula, which currently encompasses southern Albacete, Almería, Granada, eastern Málaga, southeastern Jaén and western Murcia. Their main towns were located between Baria (present-day Villaricos) and Bailo (Cádiz), also including Malaka, Abdera, Sexi and Carteia.[3] Their capital was probably the city known as Basti by the Romans, which corresponds to present-day Baza.[3] The Lady of Baza, a famous Bastetani sculpture, was recovered from the necropolis of Basti in 1971.
