Ancient Spain and Portugal Map. Hispania and Lusitania they’re called during that time.

  1. Not the best map I’ve seen, unfortunately.

    -At the moment Tarraconensis, Baetica and Lusitania were formed, the only unconquered part of the peninsula was roughly the western third of what this map shows, so parts of Asturias, León, Cantabria, Palencia and Galicia.

    -The tribes along the Atlantic coast weren’t Iberians.

  2. No, it was called just Hispania, of which Lusitania was a province. Please don’t try to apply 21st century borders to the past.

  3. **Lusitania** was one of the Roman provinces of **Hispania**, along with Tarraconensis and Baetica. Later, in the 3rd century CE, Carthaginensis and Gallaecia were formed as new provinces of Hispania by dividing Tarraconensis.

  4. Spain and Portugal didn’t exist back then. Hispania was the peninsula and Lusitania a province.

    Edit: This map is wrong at SO many levels. First, what year it is referring? Table of contents and scale?
