In 213 B.C., Castulo was the site of Hasdrubal Barca’s crushing victory over the Roman army with a force of roughly 40,000 Carthaginian troops plus local Iberian mercenaries. Soon after, the Romans made a pact with the residents and the city became a foederati (ally) of Rome.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
