This poster aims to report the conclusions of our
PhD thesis, titled The Phoenician communities of
the Iberian Peninsula and their integration in
the Roman world: an identity perspective. The
period under discussion extends from the end
of the Second Punic War in 206 BCE to the
Flavian era (mid-first century CE).
Above all, our dissertation focuses on the cultural
and ethnic dimensions of the process of integration
of communities of Phoenician origin and tradition in
the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula into
the structures of Roman Empire.
The theoretical framework which we take as our
starting point rests on two pillars:
- Social Constructivism.
- Postcolonial Theories.
