What was the conquest of iberia?

Answer 1

The Celts are thought to have had extensive settlements in Iberia,which consists of Spain and Portugal,perhaps from as early as 900 BC.According to Irish legend,the Celts who colonised Ireland came from Spain.The Celts in Iberia became involved in the warbetween Carthage and Rome,and paid a heavy price for their involvement.The Carthaginian general Hamilcar Barca invaded the southern coast of Iberia and his son,Hannibal,decided to launch an attack on Rome through the territory of the Celts.The Celts formed an alliance with Hannibal and the Romans took their revenge on them after the fall of Carthage in 197 BC.The Romans conquered and colonised the Iberian Celts and often treated them extremely savagely.Servius Sulpicius Galba even massacred the Celts after they surrendered in 151 BC.War between the Celts and Romans in Iberia continued until the middle of the first century BC.After that the Celts seem gradually to have become assimilated into the Roman way of life.
