Battle Of Cartagena (209 BC)
The Battle of Cartagena in 209 BC was a successful Roman assault on the Carthaginian stronghold New Carthage ( Cartagena) in Iberia that took place in late January to early February of 209 BC. Geography New Carthage was a town situated on a peninsula – joined to the mainland to the east by a narrow isthmus. On the north side the town was protected by a large lagoon, which fed into a canal which protected the west side of the town. On the south side of the town, there was the Bay of Cartagena. As a result of this geography, New Carthage benefited from a geography that made it very difficult to assault.

Opposing him were the three Carthaginian generals (Hasdrubal Barca, Mago Barca and Hasdrubal Gisco), who were o ...

Teresa De Cartagena
Teresa de Cartagena (Burgos, c.1425–?) was a Spanish writer, mystic and nun who is considered to be the first Spanish female writer and mystic. She became deaf between 1453 and 1459. Her experience of deafness influenced her two known works ''Arboleda de los enfermos'' (Grove of the Infirm) and ''Admiraçión operum Dey'' (Wonder at the Works of God). The latter work represents what many critics consider as the first feminist tract written by a Spanish woman. Few documents exist regarding Teresa's life. In Francisco Cantera Burgos's history of the Santa María family, the author confirms Teresa's identity as a '' conversa'' (a Christian of Spanish Jewish heritage) and as a member of the Santa María-Cartagena family, the most powerful converso family in late-medieval Spain. Her grandfather, Rabbi Shlomo ha-Levi, converted to Christianity around 1390 and was baptized as Pablo de Santa María, becoming bishop of Burgos in 1412.
