Malaka, Punic Iberia, 175 - 91 B.C.
|Iberia|, |Malaka,| |Punic| |Iberia,| |175| |-| |91| |B.C.|, Phoenicians from Tyre founded Malaka (Málaga, Spain today) about 770 B.C. The name was probably derived from the Phoenician word for "salt" because fish was salted near the harbor. After a period of Carthaginian rule, Malaka became part of the Roman Empire. The Roman city enjoyed remarkable development under a special law, the Lex Flavia Malacitana. A Roman theater was built at this time. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, it was ruled first by the Visigoths and then the Byzantine Empire (550-621). It was regained by the Visigoths in 621 and ruled by them until the Umayyad Muslim conquest in 711.
