Human sacrifice in the ancient Iberian Peninsula is recorded in classical sources, which give it as a custom of Lusitanians and other Celtic peoples from the northern area of the peninsula. Its most complete mention comes from the work of Greek chronicler Strabo, in which those ceremonies have a divinatory utility. Modern authors have seen in this phenomenon hints of a possible priestly class among the mentioned peoples, similar to but differentiated from European Celtic druids.

dbo:abstract
  • El sacrificio humano en la antigua península ibérica prerromana se encuentra reflejado en fuentes grecolatinas, que lo ubican entre los antiguos lusitanos y otros pueblos celtas del norte de la península. Su mención más prolífica proviene de la obra del cronista griego Estrabón, en la que se da a estas ceremonias una finalidad adivinatoria. Autores modernos han visto también en este testimonio indicios de una posible clase sacerdotal entre los mencionados pueblos, similar pero diferenciada de los druidas galos y britanos. (es)
