Roman Turdetania: Romanization, Identity and Socio-Cultural Interaction in the South of the Iberian Peninsula between the 4th an

Roman Turdetania makes use of the literary and archeological sources to provide an updated state of knowledge from a postcolonial approach about the socio-cultural interaction processes and the subsequent romanisation of the populations in the southern Iberian Peninsula from the 4th to the 1st centuries BCE. The resulting communities shaped a new identity, hybrid and converging, resulting from the previous Phoenician-Punic substrate vigorously coexisting with the new Hellenistic-Roman imprint.

Gonzalo Cruz Andreotti is professor of ancient history at the University of Malaga. He has worked in several lines of research: ancient geographical thought, Iberian geography, ancient ethnic identities in Hispania - in particular concerning Turdetania- and more specifically, concrete studies on authors, such as Polybius and Strabo.
