The Iberos towns
Between the 535-264 B. C. Southeastern of Iberia was under
the Punic hegemony and the one of his famous generals Almílcar,
Asdrúbal and Aníbal. After the Greek and Carthaginian
fights of, these last ones agreed with Rome (348) their
control from Mastia (Cartagena) towards the west on Andalucia.
With mining interests in Barye (Villaricos), Malaka, Sexi
(Almuñécar) and Abdera (Adra), the region
of Níjar was surely zone of step, in which they have
not been left hardly documentary nor archaeological references.
Avieno speaks to us of the zone: (_)"in the East of
the Guadiaro live the ferocious libifenices and the masienos
(_). Of Menaca (Malaga) after Venus, formerly rose numerous
cities with a Phoenician crowd (_) after the Cabo extends
a coastal emptiness of inhabitants and ground ".(_)
At the time of splendor of the Iberian culture, led here
by the Bastetanos towns (Trick) that knew to resist to much
external influence, they received cultural stimuli of native
and personal ways which were translated.
The Roman army was at that time, on the verge of disembarking
in the coast of Gerona..
