Abstract
The use of a halter to guide and control not only Bovids but also Equids is attested in the prehistoric Rock Art of the Mediterranean coastline of the Iberian Peninsula, but it is not possible to prove the existence of metallic nose rings. In the Iron Age the bronze nose-ring is documented archaeologically in Iberia, and contemporary Italic painted pottery shows its compatibility with the use of reins on a ridden horse.
Highlights
El empleo de ronzales para guiar no bóvidos sino équidos está presente en la Península Ibérica ya en abrigos prehistóricos levantinos, aunque no es posible precisar la presencia de narigón metálico

Summary
El empleo de ronzales para guiar no bóvidos sino équidos está presente en la Península Ibérica ya en abrigos prehistóricos levantinos, aunque no es posible precisar la presencia de narigón metálico. Magníficamente documentada por la ilustraciones de Mesado y Quesada, recibe en el vocabulario rural el nombre de narigón, definido por nuestro diccionario como argolla con cuerda o sin ella, que se pone en el hocico de los bueyes u otros animales para sujetarlos mejor.
