We present an interpretation of the epigraphic information transmitted by Polybius about the bronzes containing the first treaties between Carthage and Rome, and the one of the Temple of Hera Lacinia about Hannibal’s defensive strategy, which allows us to propose a hypothesis to reconstruct the provincial organization of Carthage in Libya and Iberia, as part of the struggle for hegemony in the western Mediterranean. This proposal also represents a turning point in the knowledge of the pre-Roman peoples of the Iberian Peninsula and we believe will provide a better understanding of the situation and organization of Carthage before the Second Punic War, its position in front of Rome and of their consecutive processes of the conquest of Iberia
