After the disappearance of Tartessos, other Iberian locales rose to prominence and flourished—until their successes drew the unwanted attention of rival civilizations. This program tracks the history of Iberia during the era of Carthaginian and Roman expansion. Paintings, dramatizations, and maps reconstruct the course of the Punic Wars. In addition, the characteristics and cultures of these embattled regions are examined through re-creations of everyday life, images of artifacts, and footage of ruins in Girona, Tarragona, Teruel, Galicia, Asturias, Soria, and Seville. Not available in French-speaking Canada. An RTVE Production. (Spanish with English subtitles, 48 minutes)
