The Romans settled in Carthago Nova, modern-day Cartagena, for several strategic reasons. Its location provided a natural harbor that facilitated trade and military operations in the Mediterranean. Additionally, the area was rich in mineral resources, particularly silver, which made it economically valuable. The settlement also served as a key foothold in the region during the Punic Wars, allowing Rome to exert control over Iberian territories.
