By the 5th century BC, the Iron Age Iberian civilization had become consolidated on the eastern side of the Iberian Peninsula. What is now the Catalan territory was home to several distinct tribes of Iberians: the Indigetes in Empordà, the Ceretani in Cerdanya and the Airenosins in the Val d'Aran. At this time, the Greek trading city of Empúries (Emporion meaning market, then Emporiae), was founded on the coast by the Greek city of Phocaea in the 6th century BC.
