  Hispania Baetica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baetica was renamed by the Moors in the 8th century, and their name "Andalucia"—"land of the Vandals" is just one of the possible etymologies—has remained.
Hispania Baetica was divided into four conventus, which were territorial divisions like judicial circuits, where the chief men met together at major centers, at fixed times of year, under the eye of the proconsul, to oversee the administration of justice: Gaditanus, Cordubensis, Astigitanus, and Hispalensis.
Baetica was rich and utterly Romanized, facts that the emperor Vespasian was rewarding when he granted the ius latii minor that extended the rights pertaining to Roman citizenship (latinitas) to the inhabitants of Hispania, an honor that secured the loyalty of the Baetian elite and its middle class.

With time, the name Hispania was used to describe the collective names of the Iberian Peninsula kingdoms of the middle ages, which came to designate all of the Iberian Peninsula, plus the Balearic and Canary Islands when they were conquered.

The explication of Hispania superior is the main task which Géza Alföldy sets himself in the present book, and one cannot imagine an author better qualified to do so.
Our newly-attested Hispania Superior must be the same province as the Hispania Nova Citerior Antoniniana attested in two famous inscriptions (CIL 2: 2661 and 2: 5680) as having been created by Caracalla during his sole reign, which is to say, between 211 and 217.
Provincia Hispania Superior should be read with attention but in the certain knowledge that its conclusions are all hypothetical -- at least until another revelatory inscription surfaces to alter them again.
