Augustus and Hispania Ulterior
Abstract
The author expresses his opinion that the year 40 BC, the date of the treaty of Brindisi, the province of Hispania Ulterior was divided into two distinct areas: the valley of Betis, deeply romanized, and Guadiana North, which remained a land of conquest. The control of territory up to the Douro and its subsequent Romanization will be due entirely to Augustus, who at an undetermined date divided it in Baetica and Lusitania, setting the limits of this in the Douro river. Gallaecia never belonged to it, as it is clear from the study of the literary sources and the bronze of Bembibre, with its explicit mention of the Transduriana provincia.
