What culture did the Iberians and Celts produce?
Celtiberians
Why are the Celtiberians important today?
"Why are the Celtiberians important today" I guess this is because the many archaeological sites found. Traditionally this peoples were suposed to be a mixture from Celts and iberians. But this is now interpreted as wrong. Celtiberians were the most predominant ethnic group in ancient hispania because they were in fact the Celts who lived in iberia. It seems that what today is the iberian peninsula should be the Celtic peninsula, because iberians as people, only lived in the eastern coast. It seems that was also a problem to Romans, Greeks an Phoenicians. The name of Hispania come from the Phoenicians, but iberia comes from the Greeks who call this lands iberia because was inhabited by iberians. later roman realized that hispania was inhabited not only by iberians but Celts (if were such a thing, but that's is other problem) Romans were a practical people and used the phoenician name and did not care anymore.

The Iberians were one of the earliest known inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula, but they were not the first.

On the eastern coast of the Adriatic sea there were the Illyrians. In Italy there were the italic peoples, the Etruscans and the Celts of northern Italy.

Are Russian people know as Iberians?
No. Usually the Portugese and Spanish people who live on the Iberian Peninsula would possibly be known as Iberians. Siberia is in Russia.
How many Romans died fighting the Celts?
It is not known. Your question is extremely broad because there were many Celtic groups and the Celts were originally the biggest ethnic grouping in Western Europe. The Romans fought against many of them. They were attacked many times by the Gauls of northern Italy, who were, Celts and then fought them and conquered them in the 3rd century BC. They fought the Gauls of Gallia, who were also Celts, in the Gallic Wars (59-50 BC) when Julius Caesar conquered Gaul and in subsequent Gallic rebellions. Julius Caesar also carried out two expeditions in the southeast of England, which was inhabited by Celts. The Romans fought against the Celtiberians, the Celts of Spain, in the 2nd century BC. They fought against and conquered Noricum (most of Austria and Slovenia) which was inhabited by Celts, in 16 BC. They conquered southern England in 46 AD, Wales between 48 and 79 AD and northern England in 78 AD, all of which were inhabited by Celts. They pushed into Scotland a number of times, but withdrew and the Picts (Celts) of Scotland raided Roman Britain for centuries. As you can see from the above, it would be very difficult to estimate the number of Romans who died in many centuries of fights against Celtic groups.
Who were originally settled by Spain?
Celts and Iberians were the first settlers on the Peninsula. It is said that Hispania (the name the Romans used to describe the Peninsula) is a word of Semitic origin from Hispalis (Seville). From the year 1100 A.D. and until the middle of the 3rd century A.D., commercial and cultural contact with high Mediterranean civilisations was held with the Phoenicians and Greeks.
