In the year 218 B.C. the Roman army arrived to the Iberian Peninsula for the first time. For two centuries the Romans fought with the various tribes that inhabited Hispania, the ancient name for the Iberian Peninsula. In 19 B.C., after many battles, the Romans finally conquered Hispania by defeating the last pockets of resistance.

Hispania formed part of the Roman Empire for more than 600 years. What is left today of this ancient regime?

In this activity you will find out about the legacy of Rome in the Iberian Peninsula.
