  Tarraconesis (Hispania)
The Conquest of Hispania and the Province of Tarraconensis
According to the historian Livy, Rome first made Spain a province in 218 BC when the senate declared that Hispania should be one of the two areas (the other being "Africa with Sicily") named for the consuls of the year.
The province of Tarraconensis consisted of northern Portugal and all of what used to be Hispania Citerior, meaning the eastern coast down to Almeria, most of the interior, and the northern and northwestern parts of the peninsula.

 Historia de Hispania Romana
La guerra en Hispania había sido asignada en principio a uno de los cónsules de 218, P. Cornelio Escipión, que tomó como lugarteniente a su hermano Cneo.
Escipión abandonó Hispania en 206 a tiempo para presentarse a las elecciones consulares llevándose a la mitad del ejército, dejando dos legiones en Hispania al mando de sus lugartenientes M. Julio Silano y L. Marcio, encargado cada uno de los dos ámbitos en que se desenvolvía el dominio romano peninsular.
La reducción de efectivos a que se vieron forzados estos gobernadores en 197 a su llegada a Hispania estaba condicionada probablemente a la necesidad de enviar tropas al oriente, pero en cualquier caso resultó fatal.

To what degree the needs of the central state in the form of taxes or the needs of the city of Rome and army in the shape of foodstuffs and supplies were responsible for this undoubted growth is a controversial matter.
A principal tenet of this study is that nonsenators, nonequestrians, and nondecurions in Hispania Ulterior Baetica created wealth both for themselves and for their social superiors.
The defect of this writer's argument was its lack of terminological and conceptual precision.

Next, the western part of Tarraconensis was split off, first as Hispania Nova, later renamed Callaecia (or Gallaecia, hence modern Galicia).
The Catholic Encyclopedia reports, "Some derive it from the Punic word tsepan, 'rabbit', basing the opinion on the evidence of a coin of Galba, on which Hispania is represented with a rabbit at her feet, and on Strabo, who calls Hispania 'the land of rabbits'"
Beginning with Diocletian's Tetrarchy reform in AD 293, Hispaniae ('the Spains') became the name of one of the four dioceses—governed by a vicarius—of the prætorian prefecture Galliae ('the Gauls', also comprising the provinces of Gaul, Germania and Britannia), after the abolition of the imperial Tetrarchs under the Western Emperor (in Rome itself, later Ravenna).

 BMCR-L: BMCR 00.11.11, Alfo+ldy, Provincia Hispania Superior
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.
If Asturica remained part of the old Citerior, then we are left with the conventus of Lucus and Bracara as the basis of the new province, a hypothesis strengthened by the fact that in 238 Hispania Citerior and Gallaecia were separate provinces (CIL 6: 41229).
Although the military resources of Citerior were hardly equal to those of Syria, Britain, or Pannonia, all of which underwent similar divisions, it is in this context of administrative tinkering that the creation of the new province makes most sense.
