The Southeastern Iberian sacred areas were marked by Punic cultural influence long before the arrival of the Carthaginian armies. Therefore, the Barcids’ territorial conquests in the second half of the third century BC, while they profoundly altered political structures, hardly affected the Contestanian symbolic landscapes. The Roman conquest, however, involved a whole territorial restructuring, both politically as symbolically and religiously. The study of all these transformations shows many interesting examples of cultural hybridization, political manipulations of symbolic languages, and construction and reconstruction of the Contestanian cultural landscapes.
