Mmm... not really IMHO. Parallel developments. Celtiberian trilobate pommels are separate in the evolutive line. But yes, even Peter agreed with my view that GladHisp is a Celtiberian version of the LT I sword imported in Iberia in the 4th c BC and modified there during the 3rd and 2nd while the Gauls followed a different evolutive pattern in their swords(see references above)
