>>18362094Italy/Rome. Those Iberian ore mines were important to Rome like Gaul was for food, and their language/s is a Latin/Romance language similar to Italian.
tunisian (carthage)
>>18362094Habsbourg.The artistic, literary, scientific, theological and military legacy of the period peaks all the other combined.Just the fact that the Habsbourg Spain civilized an entire continent stuck at prehistory, from north to south, with the technology and means from a Renaissance state, says a lot about that period.
>>18362502There were several places there that had invented writing, it was not all savage.
