    From what name of a river do we get the word Iberian?

    Question #101480. Asked by flem-ish. (Dec 05 08 12:53 PM)

    		"'Iberia' has always been associated with the Ebro river, Ibēros in ancient Greek and Ibērus or Hibērus in Latin. The association was so well known it was hardly necessary to state; for example, Ibēria was the country "this side of the Ibērus" in Strabo."
