La iconografía púnica en hipogeos de Menorca (Islas Baleares). Nuevos datos para la construcción de una realidad histórica

Recent archaeological studies, including the excavation of Talayotic settlements and hypogeal caves in Menorca (Balearic Islands), have uncovered a significant corpus of Phoenician iconography. These engravings and paintings, dating from the 6th century BC to 123 BC, provide new evidence linking Menorca culturally and economically to Carthage and Ibiza during the pre-Roman period. The findings challenge previous assumptions about the island's isolation, suggesting instead a vibrant exchange of symbols, beliefs, and trade networks with the broader Phoenician world. This research sheds light on the historical context of these sites, contributing to our understanding of Phoenician influence in the western Mediterranean.
