	Hispania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hispania was the name given by the Romans to the whole of the Iberian Peninsula (modern Portugal, Spain, Andorra and Gibraltar) and to two provinces created there in the period of the Roman Republic: Hispania Citerior and Hispania Ulterior.
		Roman armies invaded Hispania in 218 BC and used it as a training ground for officers and as a proving ground for tactics during campaigns against the Carthaginians and the nations of Hispania, such as the Iberians, the Lusitanians, the Celtiberians and the Gallaecians.
		Hispania is different from Italica in that it is more than ready for war because of the rough land and its man's nature.

		The Hispanias were at first separated into two provinces (in 197 BC), each ruled by a praetor, Hispania Citerior ("Nearer Hispania"), north of the Ebro towards the Mediterranean, and Hispania Ulterior ("Farther Hispania") southwards.
		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.
		In the year 27 AD, the general and politician Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa divided Hispania into 3 parts, adding the province of Lusitania which included almost all of what is now Portugal (except the strip to the north of the river Duero) almost all of present Extremadura and Salamanca.

		In §2/8, Ptolemy sets out the boundaries of the province, tri–angular in shape, indicating that, on the western and northern sides it shares a boundary with Lusitania and Tarraconensis respectively and on the eastern and southern sides it shares the continuation of the boundary with Tarraconensis and the Outer and Balearic Seas respectively.
		The province of Tarraconensis is oddly shaped and can most easily be resolved into a very rough triangular shape, into the base of which a massive bite has been taken.
		As in the remainder of Hispania, these locations of Ptolemy display a considerable drift to the west in regard to longtitude and, in the majority of cases, a slight drift to the north is respect of latitude.

		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.
