Hispania Citerior was created in 197.
If providence is a misspelling of province, the first Roman provinces were Hispania Citerior (Nearer Hispania, roughly modern Catalonia) and Hispania Citerior (Further Hispania, southern Spain). Both were established in 197 BC.
During the late Republic they were called Hispania Ulterior and Hispania Citerior. During the Empire they were called Hispania Taraconesis and Hispania Baetica.
Carthage agreed to withdraw from Spain and all Mediterranean islands. Provinces were created in Spain - Hispania Citerior and Hispania Ulterior. Cisalpine Gaul was also conquered during the Second Punic War
Originally they were Hispania Citerior and Hispania Ulterior (nearer and further Spain) then the provinces of Hispania Tarraconensis, Hispania Baetica (mostly Andalusia) and Hispania Lusitana (Portugalsouth of the Douro river, Extremadura and a small part of Salamanca) were fomed.
Hispania Ulterior was created in 197.
Hispania Carthaginensis was created in 298.
Hispania Líneas Aéreas was created in 1982.
The Romans established their first provinces in Hispania (the Iberian Peninsula) in 197 BC. They were Hispania Citerior (Nearer Hispania, roughly present day Catalonia) and Hispania Ulterior (Further Hispania, roughly present day Andalusia). The conquest of the rest of the peninsula took a long time and was completed in 9 BC. The Lusitans (the ancestors of the Portuguese) and the Celtiberians (the Celts of Spain) fiercely resisted Roman expansion. Hispania became an important part of the Roman Empire. Roman families settled there. Some emperors, senators and important officers of state were Romans from Hispania. Olive production thrived and Hispania was the biggest supplier of the vast quantity of olive oil which was consumed in the city of Rome. Hispania was also a major producer of gold and silver and other metals. It also exported timber and horses. The Romans also built many roads, bridges, aqueducts, amphitheatres (arenas for gladiatorial fights) bathhouses, basilicas (public buildings) temples and sewers. Hispania was an area of the empire where gladiatorial contests were extremely popular. It is likely that these were the origin of the Spanish bullfights. The Roman influence in Hispania was so deep that Spanish is one of the Romance languages-languages which are derived from Vulgar Latin (a mixture of Latin and local languages).
Hispania Líneas Aéreas ended in 1989.
The Roman name for the Iberian Peninsula was "Hispania." This term encompassed the territories of modern-day Spain and Portugal. Initially, Hispania was divided into several provinces, including Hispania Tarraconensis, Hispania Baetica, and Hispania Lusitania, each with its own administrative centers and cultural influences. The name has persisted over time, influencing the names of the region in various languages.
Spain
The Roman Empire had far more than seven provinces. During the Roman republic there were 16 provinces. In the period of rule by emperors the number increased to 50 provinces. The first seven Roman provinces were: Sicilia (Sicily, 241 BC) Sardinia et Corsica (238 BC), Hispania Citerior (Nearer Spain, 197 BC), Hispania Ulterior (further Spain, 197 BC), Macedon (mainland Greece, 168 BC) and Africa (present day Tunisia, western Libya and apt of eastern Algeria, 146 BC)
