In the year 218 before Christ the Romans reached Catalonia and took over Emporion. They stayed until the III Century after Christ and practised farming and trading. The Roman's success is seen in their expanding outposts such as Barcino – Barcelona - and Tarraco, now Tarragona. By the fifth century of our chronology the Roman Empire comes to an end. The "barbarians" from Germania took over power. The Visigoths penetrated from the north to the Iberian Peninsula and declared, first of all, Barcelona to the capital and integrated Catalonia into the kingdom of Toledo.
