  Gallaecia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gallaecia or Callaecia was the name of a Roman province that comprised a territory in the north-west of Hispania (approximately the current Galicia of Spain and the north of Portugal).
The Romans gave the name Gallaecia to the northwest part of the Iberian peninsula after the Gallaeci (Greek Kallaikoi) tribe (or Gallaecians), who had been their foremost enemy in the region.
Gallaecia, as a region, was thus marked for the Romans as much for its mixed Celtiberian culture, the culture of the castros or castrexa, the hillforts of Celtic origin, as for the lure of its gold mines.

 Hydatius: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com - All about Hydatius
The Suevi had settled in Gallaecia in 411, and there was constant friction between them and the local Hispano-Roman provincials.
In this context, Hydatius took part in a deputation of 431 requesting assistance in dealing with the Suevi from the general Aƫtius, the most important representative of the imperial government in the West.
Though Hydatius consistently characterizes Spanish heretics as Manichees, it is generally believed that he meant Priscillianists, followers of the Spanish ascetic and bishop Priscillian, who had been condemned as a heretic by several church councils and executed as a magician by the emperor Magnus Maximus (reigned 383-388) around 385.

 The Gaels in Gallaecia
It is necessary to think that towards the moment in which the texts were transcribed by the Irish monks, the absorption of the Celtic church by the catholic hierarchy was quite recent, and the circumstances were not therefore, too propitious to present the Romans as Irish enemies.
Gallaecia was integrated in the Roman empire, receiving the favorable treatment that corresponded to the allies.
Gallaecia escaped to the permanent occupation of the Arabs, due fundamentally to the low interest they demonstrated for the country or, at least, this is the traditional explanation on the subject.
