AB This presentationaims   to   report   the   conclusions   of   our   dissertation, titled The Phoenician  communities  of  the  Iberian  Peninsula  and their  integration  in  the  Roman world: an identity perspective. The period under discussion extends from the end of the Second Punic War in 206 BCE to the Flavian era.Above  all,  the  paper  focuses  on  the  cultural  and  ethnic  dimensions  of  the  process  of integration of communities of Phoenician origin and tradition in the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula into the structures of Roman Empire. Our  investigation  has  as  its  primary  goal  the  explanation  of  the  mechanisms  of construction  of  collective  identityand  forms  of  expressionwhich  have  come  about  in the  midst  of  these  communities  along  the  road  to  becoming  established  as  Roman ciuitates. This dissertation also attempts to improve upon the one-dimensional classical perspectives  concerning  the  poorly-named  process  of  «Romanization».  This  in  turn leads us to reinterpret the known «Phoenician» cultural «persistences» as a reflection of the  possible  existence  of  ethnic  workings  and  re-workings  by  means  of  falsely  or actually  ancient  components  with  the  goal of  legitimation  within  the  dynamic  Roman world.
