contents <p>This study explores the processes of Romanization and socio-cultural interaction in the south of the Iberian Peninsula between the 4th and 1st centuries BCE, with a particular focus on Roman Turdetania. Utilizing archaeological, numismatic, and literary evidence, it reevaluates Carthaginian presence and influence in the region prior to the Barcid period, emphasizing the role of Punic communities and their coinage in shaping regional identities. The research challenges traditional historiographical views by demonstrating a more complex and nuanced interaction between indigenous populations, Punic settlers, and later Roman authorities. It highlights the early use of coinage in bronze as a medium of exchange among culturally hybrid societies and suggests that Carthaginian military and commercial interests in Iberia were established well before Hamilcar Barca’s arrival in 237 BCE. The paper argues that this pre-Barcid phase of Carthaginian influence facilitated the integration of southern Iberia into the wider Mediterranean economic and political networks, contributing to the development of local identities in a context of cultural plurality. The findings underscore the importance of numismatic evidence for reconstructing socio-political dynamics and propose a reconsideration of the Romanization model in the region.</p>
