Abstract

Represented geographic information:

1.       Basic geography

• Coastal boundaries
• Main hidrography

2.       Major ethno-geographic groups, represented by delimited territories and name identity

• Primary geographic-delimited ethnic groups (e.g. VASCONES).
• Greater social formations of mixed ethnic origin and shared socio-political and cultural environment (e.g. TURDETANOS)
• Territories of majority of  specific ethnic-linguistic groups (e.g. CELTICOS).

3.       Secondary ethnic and gentilician communities with toponymic, territorial and political identity, excluding smaller later oppida-centered civitates. (e.g. TITOS).

4.       Pre-Roman urban centers:

• Native towns with recognized urban status in the beginning of Roman domination through specific coin emissions,  identified by location and language of emission.
• Phoenician, Greek and Punic (Carthaginian) colonial foundations, still surviving in the end of the 2d Punic War. Only major places are identified. Towns of doubtful status and "factories" are not represented.

5.       Colonial territories

• Coastal area of the "Circle of the Straight", economic and cultural commonwealth centred in Gadir/Gades.
• Geopolitical areas of colonization, territorial domination and political-military influence of Carthage, before the end of the 2d Punic War.
