Pityusic Islands (Ebusus) in 218 B.C.

Pityusic Islands (Ebusus) — Carthage › The Islands.

Ibiza and Formentera — the one genuine old Carthaginian colony among the islands, founded around 654 BC and never a Greek or native land. A flourishing naval outpost off the Iberian coast, it grew rich on sea-salt and on the dye and salt-fish trades, its tophet and necropolis among the greatest Punic sites of the West.
