The battle of the Tagus was a confrontation that took place in the framework of the Carthaginian campaigns against the peoples of the Central Plateau of the Iberian Peninsula. It took place in 220 B.C. along the river Tagus, pitting an army commanded by Hannibal Barca against a large Carpetani army, which had been joined by contingents of Vaccaei and Olcades. According to the numbers shown by the classic sources, it had to be the battle that involved a greater number of combatants in the Iberian Peninsula before the Roman presence.
