Hi everyone! Sorry this one is out so late - it took a long time to make, and as soon as it finished processing we got a fat copyright strike on the nice Portuguese anthem in the video :'( Let me know if you enjoyed it and comment below if you want to see a video on the Carthaginian Conquest of Iberia before the the Roman arrival! Please also check out Know History who has made a great video on the Lusitanian War - linked below!
Good video indeed! Only a couple of little details: it´s neither "Curdoba" nor "Tarraca", but "COrduba" and "TarracO". And from a citizen from the old Hispania, i say to you: Thanks for you interest and keep on your good work!
“Sorry about not including Portugal last time guys thought nobody would notice”… Roman Conquest of Iberia thumbnail only shows Spain lol. In all seriousness great video really enjoyed it
@@Adrian-vy5vn The pronunciation in Spanish of Spain is pronounced Espania. Which is modern Spain. Hispania is Ancient Spain. It is still Spain pretty much. Except Portugal once Lusitania , a province of Spain is an independent country. Gilbraltar the great rock is also not part of Spain anymore. The English occupy that. Andorra is also an independent country and not part of Spain anymore. And a portion of France's border that was part of Spain before now belongs to France. Which Spain lost to France in wars.
Thank you so much for this as I always wondered how Romans conquered Hispania as it seems to be one of the more overlooked conquests compared to Gaul and Britannia.
@@jeangonzalezhidalgo7967 yo soy de habla hispana pero desconozco bastante de esta conquista. Me interesa saber sobre los procesos de integración cultural.

When the Astures and Cantabrians were conquered, the Romans crucified the leaders. While crucified, those men started singing in joy, which spooked the Romans, who asked other tribesmen why those men were singing, to which they replied "they sing in joy because they will die as free men". Of the Celtic tribes in Iberia, those two were the last to fall, and would remain always rebellious, which is why the Romans had a legion stationed in what is today the city of Leon throughout most of the Empire time frame.
And in fact the name of León actually comes from the latin "legio" (legion in English), which refers to the Legio VII Gemina, the legion that was stationed there.
I have to say one of if not the best part of your videos is the detail and accuracy of pronouncing the names of people and places so accurately. takes the quality to a whole other level so thank you
Hello Hilbert. I enjoyed this as with the previous video on Iberia. My first thought when it began was "What about the Carthaginian conquest?" Then you said about a future video, so yes please, as I see others have also requested in comments.

History with Hilbert I love your videos man. Interesting point: Romanization may not have been very difficult in terms of linguistics. Italic languages like Latin were very similar to Celtic languages. In fact most linguists say before they diverged they were a part of a single Proto Italic-Celtic branch. Also, the language of the Lusitanians were so similar to other Italic languages, linguists still have not determined whether or not to classify it as an Italic language, Celtic language, or an earlier offshoot of Proto Italic-Celtic branch. It may actually be an interesting video in the future too.
Celtiberians/iberians were extremely effective fighters. They were valued as mercenaries and were known to be loyal to the death. They used a special type of poison to use in case they were taken prisoner that would make their facial muscles stretch and look as if they were laughing at their captors
I wished we spaniards would appreciate our history and culture more, it is way more interesting than many would think. We need to start embracing the bright side of our history and stop just focusing on the bad to the point of devaluating our entire nation. I wish you the best from afar, my dear Spain, even though I might have had to leave you because I know I can't change you, I still miss and love you hundreds of kilometers away.
I enjoyed learning about my ancient heritage as a Mexican of Spanish descent! Spain really was a hassle for the Romans to conquer, 200 years from the First Punic War up to the time of Augustus. Later it became an important Roman province and even 2 Roman Emperors, Hadrian and Trajan came from Spain. Hadrian himself was born in Italica, modern Seville.

Lusitania oprovince consisted of modern day Portugal south of the Douro River and modern day Extremadura, Spain. It only briefly included today's Galicia and Asturias. Galicia was a Roman province of its own that included northern Portugal.
As a Portuguese, I am used to the insignificance often attributed to my country. More often than not this is the perspective of a vulgar person. For someone who works with history, it is close to unforgivable, because at no time was the history of Portugal and Spain separated. Despite all that, thank you for putting the content out there, as it is better to have a little, than to no representation.

It is interesting that what Romans did in Spain the Spanish did in America, made wars against natives with help of other natives and than they brought Spanish language to that area, almost like Roman conquest of Hispania and Spanish conquest of Mexico are two brothers, one older and one younger, twins in all matters.
Actually, just like the Aztecs and the Mayans, some Iberian peoples, like the Vetones, used to carry out human sacrifices till the Roman authorities banned them. I guess you can call it civilisation pushing on! 😆
I would be really interested in an overview of bronze age Europe and what peoples were there and how they moved through the continent (via migration or invasion). Thanks!
1:37 Yes, I’d appreciate a video about Iron Age Portugal. I think it should already be on the previous video, as the title says “Iron Age IBERIA c.1000 - 300 BC”… I’m not portuguese myself, but it was really disappointing to see Portugal cut out of the iberian map. :/
I didn't even notice Hilbert, glad you made a part two, it is sad it seems after you made the Haiti video the earthquake happened and they're still getting tremors.
Well done Hilbert, well done, we both have the plan of reincorporating Lusitania into Hispania. Thats the reason he didn't included the Lusitani tribe in the other video. Portu...what? Never heard of it
Right. Even when your channel is made in english language and without spaniard subtitles I surrender,, I mean I subscribe myself. Lets think I do it for practishing english after the main reason sure. Your video works are fine. They really are!
39:18 That’s inaccurate: in 214 AD emperor Caracalla created the province of Gallaecia by splitting the Northwest end of Tarraconensis (including Lucus Augusti). In addition, in 297AD emperor Diocletian carried out an administrative reform throughout the empire that in the Iberian peninsula gave birth to a 5th province: Cartaginensis.
Yeah, Spain also produced a lot of garum and wheat. You can still visit the fish factories in Bolonia, Cádiz. However the most important export from Spain was metal, and especially gold. Just outside of Leon you have the largest Roman gold mine in history, las médulas. Before the conquest of Dacia the empire depended almost completely on the gold mined there. Which is why Spain was so valuable.
Great Video! Unlike the Arab conquest of Visigothic Spain in 711 (which was carried out by Tariq ibn Ziyad), the Roman conquest, on the other hand, was slow and gradual. The Roman control in Hispania, in turn, was only definitively installed during Augustus' reign, more precisely after the Cantabrian Wars (29-19 BC), as the video already mentioned. The cultural root of the Iberian Peninsula is, par excellence, Roman! With the exception of Madrid, virtually all the major Iberian cities were founded by the Romans! • In Portugal, including the current Spanish Autonomous Community of Extremadura as well (province of LVSITANIA), for example, the Romans founded the cities of Lisbon (Felicitas Iulia Olisippo), Évora (Ebora liberalitas Iulia), Beja (Pax Iulia), Santarém (Scallabis), Coimbra (Aeminium) and, lastly, EMERITA AVGVSTA itself (Mérida), the capital of Lusitania. Moreover, the Romans also founded the city of BRACARA AVGVSTA (current Braga), which was part of Hispania Tarraconensis. • In Spain, more precisely in Hispania Baetica (modern Andalusia), the Romans founded the cities of Seville (HISPALIS), Granada (Florentinum Iliberitanum) and, of course, Córdoba itself (CORDVBA), which was both the capital of Hispania Baetica and the birthplace of Seneca. • In Hispania Tarraconensis, which included practically all of modern Spain (with the exception of Extremadura and Andalusia), the Romans founded Toletum (Toledo), Segovia and Tarragona (Colonia Iulia Urbs Triumphalis Tarraco), which was the capital of Tarraconensis. The Roman legacy within the Iberian Peninsula, therefore, is simply HUGE! Yes, many of these cities already had a Greek and/or Phoenician past. However, it was the Romans who expanded them. Both Portugal and Spain, in my historical analysis, are the two "daughters" of Rome.
Were these cities "founded" by the Romans or "conquered" by them? ...and later these cities were conquered by other peoples, so Roman occupation was just a minute in time within the world's history.
@@hutchlinda9 As I said in my comment, many of these cities had already been occupied by Greeks and Phoenicians/Carthaginians. However, it was the Romans who enlarged and improved these cities. Furthermore, the Roman occupation in Iberia lasted 5 centuries! The Roman presence was the longest in Iberian history, second only to the Arab/Muslim occupation.
@@miguelsilva1446 De fato, Lisboa foi ocupada por fenícios e gregos primeiro. No entanto, foi Roma que ampliou e expandiu a cidade. A contribuição romana foi muito maior! Foi a partir dos romanos que a Lisboa moderna foi erguida.
Hi, my apologies about this. It's due to the copyright claim as there is a non-copyrighted video processing which impacts the current quality though that should be fixed within the hour if you want to watch it in HD after that :)
I'm almost sure that the name of cilterior province capital is: Tarraco, and not Tarraca. I live near there. Although, great video! You did a great job.
In Spanish and Italian I'm pretty sure you end names with O. For example, in Spanish Hadrian is called Adriano is he not? But in Latin his name was in fact Hadrian.
@@alekisighl7599 In so far as Spanish historiography is concerned, the Roman name of present-day Tarragona is spelt “Tarraco”. Clues that support this spelling are the “o” in the modern toponym, or the “o” in the demonym “tarraconense”, which comes from the Latin “Tarraconensis”. Concerning emperor Hadrian (who by the way was born in Hispania), the Latin spelling is “Hadrianus” and the Spanish “Adriano”, though as a modern first name the spelling in Spanish is “Adrián”.
After Gadir had switched sides Mago did not leave for Africa. He sailed to Iboshim (modern Ibiza) the last punic stronghold, reinforced there, sailed on to modern Minorca were he founded the modern city of Maho (the name comes from him and where the future Mahonaise was invented). He got some local slingers and also webt behind Asdrubal's footsteps landing in Italian Liguria were he was anihilated.
Much much much better than Kings and Generals, this channel is well documented, whic is very uncommon when it comes to Iberian peninsula history, nice surprise.
Carthage Nova wasn’t named after Carthage. If you notice, that name is LATIN. It’s what the Romans called it, to distinguish from Carthage. The Carthaginians just called it Carthage, and I’d question whether they named it after the their home city, since Carthage just means “new city” in their language.
@@adriancampos8640 I know, but qart hadasht is the punic name of THE Carthage, the one in Tunisia not Spain, and I thought that thw carthaginians called something different along the lines of carthagena
Do you guys know where do grey eyes come from? I had a great grandmother who had greyish blue eyes, and our family came from Spain although Idk if this color is common there and Dutch blood is aways a possibility where I live.
I don't know where it comes from but if you watch a couple of videos about the Basque country you soon notice a significant number of women with aquamarine eyes. Which I found kind of funny because the reason I was watching the videos was I have a friend who is part Basque and has the same colour eyes.
Blue eyes could have come from Spain’s Western Hunter-Gatherer heritage. [WHG admixture levels run quite high in Iberia, especially in the East of the peninsula - where Basques, Cantabrians, etc. have levels that exceed those observed in many parts of Central and Northern Europe.] The trait may also come from Steppe ancestry - which has been present in the peninsula since the Bronze Age (at modest levels). Iron Age Proto-Celts and Celts, as well as and late (Roman) imperial period Germanics-e.g. Suebic Vandals and Visigoths-would be the groups who were the most impactful in introducing such ancestry to the peninsula. (The Franks/Carolingians may have also been a significant source of such - particularly in Catalunya and Eastern Iberia.) Bottom line is that having grey/blue/green eyes-while not extremely common-is not unheard of for people of Spanish descent. Half of my family (which comes from Asturias and Catalunya) have blonde or red hair and light eyes (blue or gray).
What part of Spain did she come from? I had a grandfather who had red hair and was 6 feet tall. I assume he came from northern Portugal where the Moors didn't reach. Your great-grandmother might have come from northern Spain (Astoria).
@@hutchlinda9 Our family name is from Galicia. Heard Galicians have celtic influence from the post Saxon invasion of Britain. But as those fine gentlemen said, it could also be visigothic, suevi, celtiberian or something else. Or even from the stranded dutch settlers of New Holland who fled into the hinterlands.
Congratulations on the video! It's noticeable that you put more academic rigor on this video than the previous one. I sense that your decision to include the geographical Portugal in this video made you do the homework. You used correctly the terms, Iberia, Iberian Peninsula, Hispania, and Spain, almost every single time. These words do not mean the same thing and are not interchangeable. Sadly, judging by a lot of the comments, many people have no clue. I know it can be very confusing, especially when the Latin word Hispania literally translates to Spain in English; However, they mean different things. The English word Spain can only be applied in the context of the modern country "Kingdon of Spain". Unfortunately, with the unification of the Iberian kingdoms, and in particular the final union of the crowns of Castille and Aragon, they appropriated the word Hispania for the name of the new country, to complicate matters. Again, words have meaning; if someone is trying to be professional and academically rigorous...one has to be, well, rigorous! You did it well.
...no. I'm Spanish and here in the north we pronounce it with a z sound. In the south you might hear: Cádis, Cádiz and Cádi. What I mean is that It's not a feature of the city itself...but the accent in which you pronounce it. It's absolutely right to say Cádiz as he said it.
@@tcbbctagain572 Yeah lay off the drugs. It is making you laugh like a fool. At least I'm not as ignorant as you and I know better. Thank God=Lord Jesus Christ.
@@ItalMiser117 Paul says in Romans 15:23, 24: “But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions…. I plan to…go (as far as one could go West) to Spain. … (Spain was even mentioned in the New Testament part of the Holy Bible. Yeah it is ancient Spain (Hispania). Many people saying that Spain existed since the 1400's. Spain existed way before since 218 b.c. When Iberia was renamed Hispania(Spain) Much of the Portuguese don't want to accept that they were once Spaniards way back from Lusitania , Hispania (ancient Spain).)
For the past year, I have been creating an amateur film project, called LUSITANI, which will eventually become a saga. This is a legend created by me that represents some fictional events from Celtic-Lusitanian mythology (Portugal in the bronze and iron ages). I would really like to have your support in some way! LUSITANI's first film is now available on this same channel with which I'm making this comment! (The sequel is already being written!)
"how did Romans conquer Iberia" Puts 1 minute of the greatest warriors of Iberia, Lusitanians, lords of Guerrilha warfare, that later assemble all the Iberians to fight against Rome as one in nowadays Asturias. To later resist even after the full conquer of Gaul and the invasions of Britania. I am disapointed with the video.
There were celtic-basque tribes rsuch as VArduli, Caristii and Autrigoni in todays basque country, the Vascones - real basques- were in today Navarre, but had litttle or none celtic culture and blood The most important tribe of the three celtic basque were the VArduli, in today´s Guipuzcoa (San Sebastian) They never fought the Romans, they were probably best allies of the Romans of all Spain. The personal guard of Gaius MArius was exclusively composed by them. They were extremely fierce and loyal very similar to the Cantabrian with whom had bad relationships, actually helped Augustus to defeat the cantabrians. They made 2 elite Cohorts one called Fida cohors Vardulorum, stationed in Britanny for nearly two centuries, protecting the HAdrian wall against their close relatives -Picts- The other cohort was used to retaliate the Germanic tribes, i.e revolt of Batavian and Germans and the Massacre of Asciburg where those were anihilated by the Varduli and BAsques. Note, ADN test show that Irish, Scottish Welsh and English most similar gens (haplogrouos) in Europe are those from North Spain, particularly the Varduli. Irish are nearly the same. Some of the greatest miitary heroes and sailors of Spanish empire were from the Varduli area, including the top one Blas de Lezo, the foirst circunnavigator Elcano, The conqueror of the Philippines Legazpi, the Discoverer of the turnarond pacific voyage Urdaneta, the Foiunder of the Jesuits Ignacio de Loyola, The guy who made the French king prisoner Juan de Urbieta, the hero of Nordlingen Idiaquez, etc.... Basques from Navarra and Rioja, took the side of Sertorius in the Roman civil war, Pompei, founde of later capital of the basques Pamplona (Pompaelo) laid siege to Calagurris, and the basques there mantained their aliance with sertorius and did not flip side, to the point that ended uo eating their own sons, held the line refusing to surrender. Augustus, who saw how his uncle Cesar ended up being stabbed, and remembered that his relative MArius had a VArdulii personal guard, choose the BAsques from Calagurris as his personal guard, and remained as such untill his total victory in Actium. They escorted him during the triumph in rome after actium victory. For all these reasons and history of very good relationships the basques and vardulii were less romanized, mantained their traditions and language and were probably some of Romans best friends thoughout the empire, More info of their presence in UK. www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~grayb/cohifida.html www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~grayb/templeof.html
Las vascongadas y parte de Cantabria y Asturias no fueron dominadas por Roma, sino que poco a poco se fueron adaptando al contacto con el mundo hispanoromano. Hasta asimilarse.

I think that’s part of the Celtic culture
Mayan cities were ruined and ocupied by rain forest very long, long centuries before spaniards even knew about aztecs....@@long_dan
This was quite interesting to learn! Don't know that much about this era.
I would be really interested in an overview of bronze age Europe and what peoples were there and how they moved through the continent (via migration or invasion). Thanks!
How can I comment before release! MAGIC!
How did you do that?

He's a good little communist. Susan approves.
This video was mad good 👍
Yeah, this was a great video!
Thank you for pronouncing things properly!
1:37 Yes, I’d appreciate a video about Iron Age Portugal.
I think it should already be on the previous video, as the title says “Iron Age IBERIA c.1000 - 300 BC”… I’m not portuguese myself, but it was really disappointing to see Portugal cut out of the iberian map. :/
I am portuguese and I don't care. I am just glad he is including info about that in a future video.
Educational as always
Imagine being so invested in a country's history that one of its cities literally sponsers your videos
I didn't even notice Hilbert, glad you made a part two, it is sad it seems after you made the Haiti video the earthquake happened and they're still getting tremors.
Hilbert: Let me know if you want a video on...
Me: yes.
Well done Hilbert, well done, we both have the plan of reincorporating Lusitania into Hispania. Thats the reason he didn't included the Lusitani tribe in the other video.
Portu...what? Never heard of it
YES, DEFINITELY DO A VIDEO ON THE CARTHAGINIAN CONQUEST OF HISPANIA
Right. Even when your channel is made in english language and without spaniard subtitles I surrender,, I mean I subscribe myself. Lets think I do it for practishing english after the main reason sure. Your video works are fine. They really are!
39:18 That’s inaccurate: in 214 AD emperor Caracalla created the province of Gallaecia by splitting the Northwest end of Tarraconensis (including Lucus Augusti). In addition, in 297AD emperor Diocletian carried out an administrative reform throughout the empire that in the Iberian peninsula gave birth to a 5th province: Cartaginensis.
Yes! Make the video on Portugal and make the video on the Carthaginian Conquest of Hispania!
Please do so!
If I remember correctly Rome relied heavily on Spain for olive oil.
Yeah, Spain also produced a lot of garum and wheat. You can still visit the fish factories in Bolonia, Cádiz.
However the most important export from Spain was metal, and especially gold. Just outside of Leon you have the largest Roman gold mine in history, las médulas.
Before the conquest of Dacia the empire depended almost completely on the gold mined there. Which is why Spain was so valuable.
Great video
PLEASE do the Carthaginian conquest video. Please!
Great Video!
Unlike the Arab conquest of Visigothic Spain in 711 (which was carried out by Tariq ibn Ziyad), the Roman conquest, on the other hand, was slow and gradual.
The Roman control in Hispania, in turn, was only definitively installed during Augustus' reign, more precisely after the Cantabrian Wars (29-19 BC), as the video already mentioned.
The cultural root of the Iberian Peninsula is, par excellence, Roman! With the exception of Madrid, virtually all the major Iberian cities were founded by the Romans!
• In Portugal, including the current Spanish Autonomous Community of Extremadura as well (province of LVSITANIA), for example, the Romans founded the cities of Lisbon (Felicitas Iulia Olisippo), Évora (Ebora liberalitas Iulia), Beja (Pax Iulia), Santarém (Scallabis), Coimbra (Aeminium) and, lastly, EMERITA AVGVSTA itself (Mérida), the capital of Lusitania. Moreover, the Romans also founded the city of BRACARA AVGVSTA (current Braga), which was part of Hispania Tarraconensis.
• In Spain, more precisely in Hispania Baetica (modern Andalusia), the Romans founded the cities of Seville (HISPALIS), Granada (Florentinum Iliberitanum) and, of course, Córdoba itself (CORDVBA), which was both the capital of Hispania Baetica and the birthplace of Seneca.
• In Hispania Tarraconensis, which included practically all of modern Spain (with the exception of Extremadura and Andalusia), the Romans founded Toletum (Toledo), Segovia and Tarragona (Colonia Iulia Urbs Triumphalis Tarraco), which was the capital of Tarraconensis.
The Roman legacy within the Iberian Peninsula, therefore, is simply HUGE! Yes, many of these cities already had a Greek and/or Phoenician past. However, it was the Romans who expanded them. Both Portugal and Spain, in my historical analysis, are the two "daughters" of Rome.
Were these cities "founded" by the Romans or "conquered" by them? ...and later these cities were conquered by other peoples, so Roman occupation was just a minute in time within the world's history.
@@hutchlinda9 As I said in my comment, many of these cities had already been occupied by Greeks and Phoenicians/Carthaginians. However, it was the Romans who enlarged and improved these cities. Furthermore, the Roman occupation in Iberia lasted 5 centuries! The Roman presence was the longest in Iberian history, second only to the Arab/Muslim occupation.
Ya veo que no sabes nada de España.
@@DanielGarcia-jt5be Nem de Portugal
Lisboa é mais velha que roma😂
@@miguelsilva1446 De fato, Lisboa foi ocupada por fenícios e gregos primeiro. No entanto, foi Roma que ampliou e expandiu a cidade. A contribuição romana foi muito maior! Foi a partir dos romanos que a Lisboa moderna foi erguida.
Hope i get to meet you in Lugo next year Hilbert!
Hoooo yea a video that includes Portugal !
Is video quality capped at 360p for anyone else or is it just me?
Me too i don't know what happened
Hi, my apologies about this. It's due to the copyright claim as there is a non-copyrighted video processing which impacts the current quality though that should be fixed within the hour if you want to watch it in HD after that :)
@@historywithhilbert No problem. Just means I'll watch it twice
Pretty comprehensive. I like.
19:50 So this video was recorded with bandicam with PowerPoint slides on the 20th of August at 18:31. Cool.
I'm almost sure that the name of cilterior province capital is: Tarraco, and not Tarraca. I live near there. Although, great video! You did a great job.
In Spanish and Italian I'm pretty sure you end names with O. For example, in Spanish Hadrian is called Adriano is he not? But in Latin his name was in fact Hadrian.
@@alekisighl7599 In so far as Spanish historiography is concerned, the Roman name of present-day Tarragona is spelt “Tarraco”. Clues that support this spelling are the “o” in the modern toponym, or the “o” in the demonym “tarraconense”, which comes from the Latin “Tarraconensis”.
Concerning emperor Hadrian (who by the way was born in Hispania), the Latin spelling is “Hadrianus” and the Spanish “Adriano”, though as a modern first name the spelling in Spanish is “Adrián”.
There is also a large nice festival recreating the Cantabrian Wars (in plural by the way) in Los Corrales de Buelna.
Just assume we always want more of your videos
After Gadir had switched sides Mago did not leave for Africa. He sailed to Iboshim (modern Ibiza) the last punic stronghold, reinforced there, sailed on to modern Minorca were he founded the modern city of Maho (the name comes from him and where the future Mahonaise was invented). He got some local slingers and also webt behind Asdrubal's footsteps landing in Italian Liguria were he was anihilated.
Waaay, Portugal has been rediscovered on the Iberian peninsula🤣🤣🤣👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Much much much better than Kings and Generals, this channel is well documented, whic is very uncommon when it comes to Iberian peninsula history, nice surprise.
Carthage Nova wasn’t named after Carthage. If you notice, that name is LATIN. It’s what the Romans called it, to distinguish from Carthage. The Carthaginians just called it Carthage, and I’d question whether they named it after the their home city, since Carthage just means “new city” in their language.
I thought they called it carthagena
@@hamzahammami22 Qart Hadasht was the name used in punic, and it means exactly that, ''new city''.
@@adriancampos8640 I know, but qart hadasht is the punic name of THE Carthage, the one in Tunisia not Spain, and I thought that thw carthaginians called something different along the lines of carthagena
@@hamzahammami22 Nope, they had an alexadrian level of originality.
@@adriancampos8640 hahaha at least there's only two Carthages (other than those in the Americas)
Do you guys know where do grey eyes come from? I had a great grandmother who had greyish blue eyes, and our family came from Spain although Idk if this color is common there and Dutch blood is aways a possibility where I live.
I don't know where it comes from but if you watch a couple of videos about the Basque country you soon notice a significant number of women with aquamarine eyes. Which I found kind of funny because the reason I was watching the videos was I have a friend who is part Basque and has the same colour eyes.
Blue eyes could have come from Spain’s Western Hunter-Gatherer heritage. [WHG admixture levels run quite high in Iberia, especially in the East of the peninsula - where Basques, Cantabrians, etc. have levels that exceed those observed in many parts of Central and Northern Europe.]
The trait may also come from Steppe ancestry - which has been present in the peninsula since the Bronze Age (at modest levels). Iron Age Proto-Celts and Celts, as well as and late (Roman) imperial period Germanics-e.g. Suebic Vandals and Visigoths-would be the groups who were the most impactful in introducing such ancestry to the peninsula. (The Franks/Carolingians may have also been a significant source of such - particularly in Catalunya and Eastern Iberia.)
Bottom line is that having grey/blue/green eyes-while not extremely common-is not unheard of for people of Spanish descent. Half of my family (which comes from Asturias and Catalunya) have blonde or red hair and light eyes (blue or gray).
What part of Spain did she come from? I had a grandfather who had red hair and was 6 feet tall. I assume he came from northern Portugal where the Moors didn't reach. Your great-grandmother might have come from northern Spain (Astoria).
@@hutchlinda9 Our family name is from Galicia. Heard Galicians have celtic influence from the post Saxon invasion of Britain. But as those fine gentlemen said, it could also be visigothic, suevi, celtiberian or something else. Or even from the stranded dutch settlers of New Holland who fled into the hinterlands.
It Could be from guanche
I live 1h away from Lugo and I've never been to Arde Lucus. I've knwon about it for a very long time tho.

Hey. What happened wit the basques? Did they fell with the astures and cantabrians?
They were roman allies and never really fought them.

Congratulations on the video!
It's noticeable that you put more academic rigor on this video than the previous one.
I sense that your decision to include the geographical Portugal in this video made you do the homework. You used correctly the terms, Iberia, Iberian Peninsula, Hispania, and Spain, almost every single time. These words do not mean the same thing and are not interchangeable.
Sadly, judging by a lot of the comments, many people have no clue.
I know it can be very confusing, especially when the Latin word Hispania literally translates to Spain in English; However, they mean different things. The English word Spain can only be applied in the context of the modern country "Kingdon of Spain".
Unfortunately, with the unification of the Iberian kingdoms, and in particular the final union of the crowns of Castille and Aragon, they appropriated the word Hispania for the name of the new country, to complicate matters. Again, words have meaning; if someone is trying to be professional and academically rigorous...one has to be, well, rigorous!
You did it well.
13:00 Cádiz is not read with the Spanish z sound as in Ibiza. It's read as Cádis.
...no. I'm Spanish and here in the north we pronounce it with a z sound.
In the south you might hear: Cádis, Cádiz and Cádi.
What I mean is that It's not a feature of the city itself...but the accent in which you pronounce it. It's absolutely right to say Cádiz as he said it.
The Z sound is always the same in Castilian Spanish. So Cadiz and Ibiza use the same sound.
2:50 "Sexi" *Me trying to hold my laughing profusely*
Portugal was also part of ancient Spain. Portugal was one of its provinces called Lusitania.

Many people saying that Spain existed since the 1400's. Spain existed way before since 218 b.c.

Seems systematic almost

For the past year, I have been creating an amateur film project, called LUSITANI, which will eventually become a saga. This is a legend created by me that represents some fictional events from Celtic-Lusitanian mythology (Portugal in the bronze and iron ages). I would really like to have your support in some way!

"how did Romans conquer Iberia"
Puts 1 minute of the greatest warriors of Iberia, Lusitanians, lords of Guerrilha warfare, that later assemble all the Iberians to fight against Rome as one in nowadays Asturias. To later resist even after the full conquer of Gaul and the invasions of Britania.
I am disapointed with the video.
He'll go into more detail of the Lusitanians in a later video

I thought this was an interesting video and I'd like to see something on Carthaginian Iberia.
What about País Vasco? How did they control this without impacting their language?
There were celtic-basque tribes rsuch as VArduli, Caristii and Autrigoni in todays basque country, the Vascones - real basques- were in today Navarre, but had litttle or none celtic culture and blood The most important tribe of the three celtic basque were the VArduli, in today´s Guipuzcoa (San Sebastian) They never fought the Romans, they were probably best allies of the Romans of all Spain. The personal guard of Gaius MArius was exclusively composed by them. They were extremely fierce and loyal very similar to the Cantabrian with whom had bad relationships, actually helped Augustus to defeat the cantabrians. They made 2 elite Cohorts one called Fida cohors Vardulorum, stationed in Britanny for nearly two centuries, protecting the HAdrian wall against their close relatives -Picts- The other cohort was used to retaliate the Germanic tribes, i.e revolt of Batavian and Germans and the Massacre of Asciburg where those were anihilated by the Varduli and BAsques.
Note, ADN test show that Irish, Scottish Welsh and English most similar gens (haplogrouos) in Europe are those from North Spain, particularly the Varduli. Irish are nearly the same. Some of the greatest miitary heroes and sailors of Spanish empire were from the Varduli area, including the top one Blas de Lezo, the foirst circunnavigator Elcano, The conqueror of the Philippines Legazpi, the Discoverer of the turnarond pacific voyage Urdaneta, the Foiunder of the Jesuits Ignacio de Loyola, The guy who made the French king prisoner Juan de Urbieta, the hero of Nordlingen Idiaquez, etc....
Basques from Navarra and Rioja, took the side of Sertorius in the Roman civil war, Pompei, founde of later capital of the basques Pamplona (Pompaelo) laid siege to Calagurris, and the basques there mantained their aliance with sertorius and did not flip side, to the point that ended uo eating their own sons, held the line refusing to surrender. Augustus, who saw how his uncle Cesar ended up being stabbed, and remembered that his relative MArius had a VArdulii personal guard, choose the BAsques from Calagurris as his personal guard, and remained as such untill his total victory in Actium. They escorted him during the triumph in rome after actium victory.
For all these reasons and history of very good relationships the basques and vardulii were less romanized, mantained their traditions and language and were probably some of Romans best friends thoughout the empire,

Las vascongadas y parte de Cantabria y Asturias no fueron dominadas por Roma, sino que poco a poco se fueron adaptando al contacto con el mundo hispanoromano. Hasta asimilarse.
