Items Belli people

(en) The Belli, also known as Beli or Belaiscos, were an ancient pre-Roman Celtiberian people, possibly of mixed Illyrian and Belgic origin, and probably related with the Bellovaci. The Belli lived in the modern-day Spanish province of Zaragoza from the 3rd Century BC. They inhabited the middle Jiloca and Huerva river valleys in the Zaragoza province with their territories stretching up to the Guadalope and upper Turia valleys, close to their neighbours and clients, the Titii. Their early capital was Segeda, possibly replaced later by Bilbilis. In 154 BC, Segeda expanded its territory causing the Celtiberian wars. Rome took this expansion as casus belli for their progressive conquest of Iberia. The Belli were the first Celtiberian tribe to adopt coinage in the aftermath of the Second Punic War and to post laws in written form on bronze tablets (Tabulae), using a modified Northeastern Iberian script (known as the Celtiberian script) for their own language. An important city of the Belli was Nertóbriga, which issued bronze coins in the 3rd century BC. The most prominent coining city was Sekaisa (Segeda), which minted currency around the 2nd century BC.
