  1. The Iberian Peninsula By: Brandon Wells

  2. Iberian Peninsula • The Iberian Peninsula has been inhabited for 10000 years, as discovered from fossil remains found in the area that date back to • the time.

  3. Chalcolithic Age • The copper age was the first time in history that gold, copper, and other soft metals were known to be used in tools and weapons. • Most of the items made out these metals were less durable than the tools and other things they used in the stone age, so it was a pretty useless jump in technology.

  4. Invasion • In 2150, the Iberian Peninsula was invaded by the Bell-Beaker civilization, who mostly helped to bring about the bronze age.

  5. Bronze Age With the bronze age came many technological advances. Many civilizations began to combine different metals in order to make alloys, which is what bronze is. These alloys made sturdier weapons, tools, and everyday items, such as the comb.

  6. Bronze Age (cont.) • In the late Bronze Age, the Iberian Peninsula was invaded by the Tartessians, who were a large influence in the advancement from the bronze age to the iron age.

  7. Iron Age Like with the Bronze Age, the Iron Age brought on a lot of advancement, both technologically and economically. New tools, weapons, and everyday items were created and new forms of currency began to appear.

  8. Punic Wars The Punic Wars were a series of three wars fought between the Rome and Carthage between 264 and 156 B.C. At the start of the first Punic War, Carthage was the dominant power of the Western Mediterranean, with an extensive maritime empire, while Rome was the rapidly ascending power in Italy, but lacked the naval power of Carthage. By the end of the third war, after more than a hundred years and the deaths of many hundreds of thousands of soldiers from both sides, Rome had conquered Carthage's empire and razed the city, becoming the most powerful state of the Western Mediterranean.
