Hispania was the ancient Roman name for the Iberian Peninsula, which includes modern-day Spain and Portugal. The term was used during the Roman Empire to refer to the territories they controlled in this region. Hispania was known for its diverse cultures, languages, and geography, ranging from mountains to coastal areas. The Romans divided Hispania into several provinces, including Hispania Tarraconensis, Hispania Baetica, and Hispania Lusitania. Each province had its own local governance and economy, contributing to the overall wealth of the Roman Empire. Hispania played a significant role in trade and agriculture, producing goods like olive oil and wine.
