During the first millennium before Christ, Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians from the Mediterranean landed on the coast of the Iberian Peninsula, because they were interested in its mineral wealth. 00:00:06
They founded colonies such as Gadea, Cadiz, founded by the Phoenicians, 00:00:19
Rhodes, Rosas, and Emporion, Empurias, by the Greeks, 00:00:28
and Carthago Nova, Cartagena, by the Carthaginians. 00:00:33
On the other side, Rome, a city on the Italian peninsula, 00:00:41
was founded in the 8th century before Christ. 00:00:47
In Rome, Patricians were the richest people in the city. 00:00:51
They owned the land and governed the city. 00:00:59
The rest of the inhabitants of Rome, the plebeians, devoted themselves mainly to agriculture, crafts and trade. 00:01:03
The Romans built up a very powerful army that conquered lands around the Mediterranean. 00:01:14
As a result, Rome became very rich and strong, so the empire was ruled by an emperor who held all the power. 00:01:26
In 218 B.C., the Roman army, led by Scipio, landed at Emporion Ampurias, a Greek colony, and began their conquest of the Iberian Peninsula. 00:01:38
Emperor August was involved in the conquest, which lasted for about 200 years. 00:01:52
The Iberian peoples either made pacts with the Romans or put up little resistance. 00:02:01
However, the Celts area was not easy to conquer. It took a long time. 00:02:09
The Iberian peninsula was called Hispania by the Romans and it was divided into five 00:02:18
mainland provinces Galicia, Tarraconensis, Carthaginensis, Lusitania and Baetica plus 00:02:31
Balearica which was made up of the Balearic islands. 00:02:43
The Romans built different cities in Spain and created many new communication routes. 00:02:48
One of the main roads was the Via Augusta, which ran along the Mediterranean coast to 00:02:56
Cadiz. 00:03:02
To build these roads, first they outlined the road, then they dug a ditch, after that 00:03:06
They put a layer of small stones, then a layer of sand, and finally they put over a large paving stones. 00:03:18
But why did the Romans want to conquer the Iberian Peninsula? 00:03:36
They had four main reasons. 00:03:43
The first reason was to defeat the Carthaginians, who were their main rivals in the Mediterranean. 00:03:46
A second reason was to conquer a territory with abundant minerals and agricultural products. 00:03:54
But it was also important to obtain new lands. 00:04:03
And finally, to control a strategic territory for trade in the Mediterranean and also in the Atlantic. 00:04:08
To be continued with the legacy that the Romans left us and living in a Hispanic Roman city, how people live there. 00:04:14
