Stages of the roman conquest

You can see we are in Social science, children. This map shows the moments of the conquest of Spain and Lusitania(=Portugal) by the romans, that is: the Iberian Peninsula (= Spain+Portugal).

On the map we can observe how the Romans conquered more territories with each campaign and the different colours show the territories conquered until a specific year.

The first conquests until year 197 BC in green extended to the Mediterranean costs until the Gulf of Cadiz; these territories were occupied after the Scipions advance.

Then we have the conquest until year 154 BC in yellow where the borders expand West, after Viriatus’ resistance and Scipio campaigns the conquest of the Roman Empire until year 29 BC in pink expanded to almost all the Peninsula. But the Astures and the Cantabri were still untouched. By 19 BC in red, after some Roman campaigns   by Augustus,  the complete Peninsula was conquered.
