Basques are still genetically as they were before Rome.

Romans colonized Iberia after destroying Carthage a second time. They created colonies and eventually romanized the native tribes. To my knowledge only the Celtic cantabrians and the basques were never assimilated by the Romans.

did the native iberians racemix with the romans? thats one thing ive never really heard about, the degree to which the roman colonizers mixed with the natives
Cooper Ortiz
I think they would've, Some spaniards or catalolians who post their 23andme genetic results on pol and int have a high affinity with Italians. I don't know if it's because of race mixing with the colonists or if the pre indo European Iberians were related to the pre indo European Italians.

Roman settlers were often soldiers, who were given farms to settle on as booty for conquests. They would have taken local wives, as well as owning female slaves taken from the natives. As Romanization took hold, yousd see men of native ancestry living as Romans and raising their kids as Roman, as well as an influx of settlers both from Italy and from other provinces of the Empire, these incomers would have mostly been confined to the cities but they have left some trace in the Spanish genepool so clearly some at least made it into the hinterlands.

What say?
you had celts in the central and western part, and iberians in the eastern. Basically celtiberians, or just indo-europeans old tribes from ancient paleolithic core.
They were somehow called barbarians by the romans yes, and were some kind of gauls .... they fought back for centuries the roman empire ,specially the Lusitanians (modern portugal)
They were pagans, had celtic or other indo-europeans gods, like endovelico and other's.

THE BASQUE REGION WASN'T INHABITED BY BASQUES IN THE ROMAN TIMES

There were significant differences between the iberians proper and the celts and celtiberians. And between those iberians there were differences between south iberians and north/eastern iberians. The southeners were more sophisticated politically and artistically. The northeners were more influenced by the celts, with some in current north catalonia even practising head-hunting like the Gauls.
But this differences were not extreme, rather zones of contact and transition existed. Celtiberians were celts in culture and language but used the iberian script.
