==Culture== thumb|right|200px|The extent of the Lobetani people is shown in darker green. The Lobetani's own ethnical and linguistical affiliation remains difficult to determine however, with some modern authors considering them Celtic; others believe they spoke a form of the Iberian Language. In archeological terms, they are the least known of the southeastern Iberian tribes, even though their capital Lobetum (Greek: Lobeton) has been identified with the Iron Age site of El Castellar de Frías, near Albarracín; another Lobetani town was Orosis (Caminreal, Teruel; Greek- and Roman-style mints: Orose and Orosi).
