| Abstract: | The traditional view of Maltese historians has been that Malta and Gozo were occupied by the Romans at the beginning of the second Punic War in 218 B.C. by taking them over from the Carthaginians, disregarding the fact that on these islands was present also a Greek community; consequently, they left out the Greek period both before 218 B.C. and during the Roman occupation. They only referred to the Greek presence with the fall of the Roman Empire and the transfer of the islands to the Eastern Byzantine Empire. |
