Ancient and modern times are the periods during which the Basque people have lived and continue to live.
Specifically, the Basque people are found on both sides of the border between southwestern France and northwestern Spain. Their presence in the area goes back over 2,000 years since the ancestors of the modern inhabitants of Euzkadi ("The Basque Country") were described by Roman historians Strabo (64 B.C.-A.D. 26) and Pliny (A.D. 23-79). But it is unknown exactly how long the Basque people claim the area as their homeland since some scholars suggest that Eurasia's Caucasus may have been a more ancient homeland.
