Abstract
The classical sources on the pre-Roman tribes of this Andalusian region are analysed, starting from the oldest data, from Avieno (6th century B. C.) and other authors from various eras (Hecateus of Miletus, Stephen of Byzacium, Theopompus of Chios, Ephorus, Apianus, Strabo, Pliny, Mela, Ptolemy, etc.). The ethnic groups identified, their situation, limits and corresponding cities are also analysed, observing iheir differences and their historiography and nothing certain cultural characteristics that support polymorphism in eastern Andalusia in ancient times. A second part, after the traditional approach to the problem, considers the possibility dial diere was no ethnic diversity in this pre-Roman world, since the Prehistory of the region indicates that the inhabitants of Eastern Andalusia remained basically the same from the Neolithic onwards, which contradicts the invasionist thesis and the fallacy of pre-Roman polymorphism. It is argued that the pre-Roman Andalusian world has more elements in common than previously demonstrated.
