The odyssey of the Celtiberians in South America
It all began in Carthage during the Third Punic War. The Romans had arrived at its walls, determined to destroy the city. They laid siege to it for three long years. According to legend, it was so hard that women cut their hair to make ropes and weapons of war; the Carthaginian inhabitants and their Hispanic allies fought day and night to defend their city. The siege lasted from 149 BC until the spring of 146 BC when Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus took the town in a storm.
