You do know that Phoenicians had reached Iberia by the 10th century BC, and that the Carthaginians took over those colonies by the 7th or 6th century, both never really being able to expand beyond the coast (except during the 2nd Punic in which they had some more "allied" tribes, but never came even close controling places like Celtiberia and Lusitania)?

You do know that it took the Romans 200 years of battles, skirmishes, raping, pillaging, deportation and outright genocide, suffering casualties that make the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest look almost pale in comparison, to pacify the entire Iberian peninsula, right?

Just checking.
