Um olhar histórico sobre tartessos: povo explorador das riquezas mediterrâneas

Abstract

The present study seeks to analyze elements of Tartessos society, material culture and their relevance in the development of trade routes in the Mediterranean Sea, by studying the documents from the 1st to the 7th centuries BC. This research aims to understand the economic importance of Tartessa with its Greco-Roman partners and the existence of an autonomous state policy in the Iberian Peninsula led by the monarch, Argantonio who during the Classic Period was idealized as a defender of silver and tin mines. We will try to make a systematic study in works considered references, the Geography of Iberian Strabo, Maritime Ora of Rufio de Avieno and History of Herodotus. In general, it is necessary and by common agreement that it is necessary to fill in the gaps that permeate the research theme that will be properly explored here. Thus, it aims to contribute to further advances in the area of Iberian history. As a learning object we will present an E-book, digital book, anchored on the Moodle/Xerte Platform, called Tartessos: An Iberian Kingdom, the same, it is a virtual application, where elementary and high school students, through interactivity and logical thinking games, will contact the daily life of King Argantonio and his reign around the fifth century BC. The object meets the standards of the Postgraduate Program in Iberian History-PPGHI of the Federal University of Alfenas/MG and will be made available to the program at the end of the research.
