Conquest - Many Names, One Country
In this rich, dense and thrilling three part series for BBC Four, Simon Sebag Montefiore embarks on a fascinating journey to unlock two thousand years of Spain’s history. In the first episode he explores the early years of the country, when Iberia was first a minor province of Carthage, then the most coveted of Rome's colonies, through to the glories of Islamic Spain and the Córdoba Caliphate. He explores Cadiz, Gibraltar and Seville and takes a small boat to the forgotten island of Santa Petri, visited by Hannibal in the third century BC.
