The Birth of Iberia #966945

The Birth of Iberia is the first volume in a sweeping ten-book series that rewrites the history of the Spanish peninsula for the modern reader. Beginning over a million years ago with the first hominids to walk Western Europe and ending on the eve of the Second Punic War, this book resurrects the lost civilizations that made Spain possible.

Travel into the dark caves of Altamira to meet the first artists of humanity. Unearth the hybrid kingdom of Tartessos, a legendary 'Atlantis of the West' built on Phoenician silver. Stand in the shadow of the Iberian and Celtic tribes—fierce warriors, master sculptors, and formidable rivals. Witness the arrival of the Greeks and the rise of the Carthaginian Barcid Empire, a dynasty of thunderbolts that dared to challenge Rome.
