Document Details : Title: La etnogénesis de las comunidades fenicias de la Vlterior-Baetica Subtitle: Continuidades culturales, identidad étnica y dominio romano Author(s): MACHUCA PRIETO, Francisco Journal: Latomus Volume: 79 Issue: 1 Date: 2020 Pages: 91-125 DOI: 10.2143/LAT.79.1.3287978 Abstract : This paper provides an analysis of the process of integration of the communities of Phoenician origin and tradition in the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula into the structures of domination built by the Roman Empire. The period under discussion extends from the end of the Second Punic War in 206 BCE to the last quarter of the first century CE. Above all, we focus on the cultural and identitarian dimensions of this process of integration. Based on an examination of the extant literary, archaeological, epigraphic, and numismatic evidence, our primary goal is the explanation of the mechanisms of construction of a collective identity which must have come about in the midst of these communities along the road to becoming established as Roman ciuitates. The Phoenician cultural continuities are reinterpreted as a reflection of the possible existence of ethnic workings and re-workings with the goal of legitimation within the dynamic Roman world. |
