The Tharsis Mask, possibly depicting Arganthonios Arganthonios (Argantonio in Spanish) was the most important king of ancient Tartessos (in Andalusia, southern Spain). The name Arganthonios derives from the Etruscan name "arcnti". To the Cempsi (neighboring Celts of southern Portugal) "argan" meant silver. So the name could mean "king of silver" or "man of silver". Tartessia and all of Iberia was rich in silver. There are other Celtic names that form the same term: -eilin (elbow of silver), Argeitlan (hand of silver). Arganthonios seems to have been more of a title than his real name. Rule According to Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arganthonios"
