Bletonesii

The Bletonesii were one of the pre-Roman Celtic peoples of the Iberian Peninsula (the Roman Hispania, modern Spain and Portugal), dwelling around the city of Bletisa or Bletisama, located in modern Ledesma in the province of Salamanca, Spain. If the placement in Bletisa is correct, they lived near (or they were part of) the Vettones. A hospitality token dated to AD 27 mentions the "senate and people of Bletisama," and the name Bletonesii as found in Plutarch may be equivalent to the Bletisamenses found in inscriptions.
