Years: 477BCE - 334BCE

The Carthaginians replace the Phoenicians during the fifth century BCE and close the Straits of Gibraltar to the Greeks.

The Carthaginians undertake the conquest of the peninsula but are only able to permanently occupy the territory in the south originally controlled by their Phoenician and Greek predecessors.

The Carthaginian occupation will last until the defeat of Carthage by the Romans in the third century BCE.
