Topic: Hispania Ulterior


  
  YourArt.com >> Encyclopedia >> Hispania   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
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.

Hispania was divided into two major regions, Hispania Citerior in the east, and Hispania Ulterior in the west.
The eastern part of Hispania had been a Carthaginian territory until the Romans destroyed Carthage in 146 B.C. The Carthaginians had left an influence over the native Celtiberians, and they were seen as more civilized than their northern brethren in Gaul.
The culture of the Hispania was very similar to that of Rome, with a little of the native Celtiberian culture mixed in.

As part of the Roman Empire, Hispania was seen as a province of potential by the first emperor, who wanted it run efficiently, with an eye toward bringing out its vast wealth and Romanizing it with cities and colonies.
As a result, Hispania emerged as the mineral capital of the Empire, and from the earliest days of imperial rule the focus of administration was on exhausting the supply and developing the surrounding countryside to aid in distribution and transportation.
Hispania provided the Roman legions with soldiers of remarkable stamina, bred in the mountains and fields.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2000.11.11
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.
Alföldy offers various possibilities to explain the nomenclature, and he is probably right to think that Hispania Superior and Gallaecia were two separate abbreviations for the same official title: a provincia Hispania Superior Gallaeciae to parallel the then current provincia Hispania Citerior Tarraconensis and the long obsolete provincia Hispania Ulterior Baetica.

Rome annexes the country and divides it into two provinces: Hispania Citerior and Hispania Ulterior.
The Roman presence in Hispania lasted for seven centuries during which the basic frontiers of the Peninsula in relation to other European countries were shaped.
However the Romans did not only bequeath a territorial administration, but also left a legacy of social and cultural characters such as the family, language, religion, law and municipal government, the assimilation of which definitively placed the Peninsula within the Greco-Latin and later the Judeo-Christian worlds.

This was known as devotio or Iberian dedication from the time of the beginning of the Roman Empire.
With time, the name Hispania was used to discribe 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.
An important event was the conversion of an extension of territory in the westernmost part of the peninsula into a new and stable Kingdom (Portugal); from then on the term España (Spain) would no longer designate the whole Iberian Peninsula.
