Yes they are able to raid--they even have a colony named "Band of Raiders".
What's interesting is how this CeltiberianMerc trait system idea expanded to so many other factions(because it was such a good idea--kudos to Trarco especially, and myself on coming up with the original idea). The Continental Celts have 6 different merc traits, the Swebozes have one(soon to be 2, maybe) and the Pritanoi have one too. The Celtiberians have 2 themselves.
