400 BC The first encounter with the Celts came from Northern Italy to the Iberian Peninsula around 400 BC. Another encounter with the Celts arrived with the young Roman Empire.
237 BC In 237 BC a large part of the Iberian Peninsula was conquered by the orders of the Carthaginian general HamilicarBarca. Several colonies were founded during this time such as Barcelona, Alicante, and Cartagena.
218 BC- 201 BC The Punic war begins when the Carthaginians invade Italy. Hannibal takes on Saguntum. Scipio soon lands in Spain and defeats Hasdrubal. After the war Rome annexes the country dividing it into two provinces. The two provinces were Hispanis Citerior and Hispania Ulterior.
11 BC In 11 BC the very first people reached the coast of Spain. Those people were the sea faring Phoenicians. Not long after they arrived they started setting up trading posts along the coast.
