Orison of Oreto. The Iberian hero
Although unknown to the public, Orison was a historical figure whose life was spent in the third century BC Briefly cited by Appian in his History of Rome, this regulus urethane Celtiberian met a coalition that defeated the Carthaginians commanded by Hamilcar Barca in the winter of 229-228 a. C. Following that battle, he would die when he retired Amilcar. And here comes the true story of what is known about the character. With so little material has constructed a narrative set in the stormy days of the end of the First Punic War and the beginning of the Second, covering territories on Oretania, Carthage, Sicily and much of the pre-Roman Hispania. The novel invites the reader to travel through towns such as Qart Hadast, Drepanum, Aegadian Islands, Oreto, Castulo Gadir, Carthage, Arse and Barcino, and much of Spain at that time cited in the text. Its ruins are now mere archaeological sites, if not lie beneath the bustle of today's cities. The characters, both real and imagined, are interrelated in this novel immersed in the harsh vicissitudes of an era as far as that and in a context in which the strict historiography and the discreet use of dead languages, and almost forgotten, show through the eyes of the reader as a delicate veil of fantasy fiction.
