The Romans occupied Spain Gradually. They took over southern Spain from the Carthaginians in 206 BC. They expanded very gradually and the last territories in Cantabria were conquered in 19 BC. The Visigoths invaded Spain and took over most of it by 500 AD. Therefore, the Romans occupied Spain for 500 to 700 years depending on the area.
