500BC-500AD
Spain
The Phoenicians, a maritime civilization from the Middle East, established trading colonies in Eivissa, a Spanish island in the Mediterranean Sea. They introduced viticulture and olive cultivation to the island, which are still important economic activities today. One of your ancestors may have been a Phoenician trader who traveled between Eivissa and other Phoenician colonies in the Mediterranean. Another of your ancestors may have been a Phoenician farmer who cultivated vines and olives in Eivissa.
