Abstract

The Hellenistic forms of influence in certain manifestations of the Iberian royalty are analyzed, especially in the contact of the Iberian peoples with the Carthaginian and Roman conquerors (3rd- 1st centuries BC), but starting from the full Iberian phase. The expressions of power in iconographic programs of the heroic aristocratic stage such as Pozo Moro and El Pajarillo will be influenced by the actions of the Bárquids, through marriages with indigenous aristocrats, and later by the Scipios through pact policies. In all of this, the Iberian fides or devotio was crucial.
