Answer:
The Romans came to Hispania, not to conquer it, but to fight powerful enemies: the Carthaginians.
Explanation:
The arrival of the Romans to the Iberian Peninsula takes place during the development of the Second Punic War (They were a series of three wars that Carthage fought against Rome in which they fought in 264 BC and 146 BC , we talked about them in the previous point).
In the year 226 A.D, Rome and Carthage signed a treaty by which they distributed their influence on the territory of Hispania: Rome, to the north of the Ebro; Cartago, to the south. But it was a shaky agreement. In the year 219 A.D. the fights between the Carthaginians, directed by Aníbal, and the Romans are resumed. Hispania became one of the main places of the battles between the two powers of the time. After the fall of Carthage, the peninsular territory became part of the Roman Empire and Romanization would begin.
