Hispania

Hispania was the Roman name for the Iberian Peninsula, which includes modern-day Spain and Portugal. The Romans began to conquer the region in the 2nd century BCE, integrating it into their empire. Hispania played a crucial role in Rome’s economy, culture, and politics, and it was divided into several provinces. The legacy of Roman rule persists in the language, law, and architecture of the area. Over time, Hispania became a melting pot of different cultures, laying the foundation for the rich history and diverse identities of the Iberian Peninsula today.
