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!

"There are two kinds of man: the ones who make history and the ones who endure it" - Camilo José Cela

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.

“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

What I learned from this video is you can shame a youtuber into adding countries

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.

42 mins of History with Hilbert is a blessing from the lord!

16:14 "however, things weren't all rosy" *shows picture of pears, which are in the family Rosaceae* I'd love if this wasn't a coincidence.

Great vid Hilbert, Thank you!

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.

That was really good! Thank you!!!

Great job as always, Hilbert. I love this longer format

Another great video, you and history time(Pete Kelly) are my top2 historical channels by far ☺️ Keep the great work up love from Aus

The legend has uploaded!!!

Fascinating.......Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

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

I just have to say: this is absolutely one of the best history channels out there. 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.

Educational as always

This video was mad good 👍

I was pissed to not be included in the last video. Now it seems to have been rectified. Great work! 🌍❤🇵🇹

An hour with Papa Hilbert is time well-spent.

Great video

Muito obrigado por incluir Portugal!!

Yeah, this was a great video!

Excellent video.

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.

This was quite interesting to learn! Don't know that much about this era.

3:26 I dont think you even need to ask this question 😅 I think I can speak for the majority of subscribers when I say any topic of history with hilbert video is always welcome! I'd love to see more content of the Carthagians/Phoenicians.

Thank you for this, which must have taken a huge amount of time to research and make. Any video on any subtext of this would be welcome, Carthage especially, but not exclusively. Hope your bout of illness is now safely behind you.

That intro alone would have made me subscribe if I wasn't already!

6:56 That's Etruscan tombs at Cerveteri near Rome.

Lol, thanks for including Portugal this time, hope my brethren didn't give you too much of a hard time. Always appreciate videos about Portugal. Loved this and the Spain video too, keep up the good work and hope you have a nice day 😊

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.

Wow thanks so much. And I'm definitely interested in an iron age Portugal video.

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.

I would love to see a video on the Carthaginian conquest of Hispania! I don't think the Carthaginians get nearly the amount of attention or mention they deserve

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.

Hoooo yea a video that includes Portugal !

Pretty comprehensive. I like.

How can I comment before release! MAGIC!

Please do the Carthage history of the Iberian peninsula! You do such awesome work.

Loved the Portugal bit at the beginning, and YES would love a vid on Carthage in Hispana. Honestly any videos on Hispania would interest me, Espesally in antiquity

Hope i get to meet you in Lugo next year Hilbert!

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.

Thank you for pronouncing things properly!

Yes! Make the video on Portugal and make the video on the Carthaginian Conquest of Hispania! Please do so!

Just assume we always want more of your videos

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!

YES, DEFINITELY DO A VIDEO ON THE CARTHAGINIAN CONQUEST OF HISPANIA

PLEASE do the Carthaginian conquest video. Please!

Hilbert: Let me know if you want a video on... Me: yes.

If I remember correctly Rome relied heavily on Spain for olive oil.

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.

Neat

I might check my local airport for flights to Sexi.

"How did the Romans conquer Iberia" Thumbnail shows only Spain *PORTUGUESE ANGER INTENSIFIES*

There is also a large nice festival recreating the Cantabrian Wars (in plural by the way) in Los Corrales de Buelna.

Imagine being so invested in a country's history that one of its cities literally sponsers your videos

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!

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

Yay and thankyou

19:50 So this video was recorded with bandicam with PowerPoint slides on the 20th of August at 18:31. Cool.

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 live 1h away from Lugo and I've never been to Arde Lucus. I've knwon about it for a very long time tho.

Mandatory CARALHO

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.

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.

Is video quality capped at 360p for anyone else or is it just me?

Fun fact: not a single shot was fired during the roman conquest of Iberia

Hilbert Vinkenoog? At 19:50 it shows your slideshow and bandicam

I want to see a video on Kallakians and how they adopted the celtic roots

Waaay, Portugal has been rediscovered on the Iberian peninsula🤣🤣🤣👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Carthaginian conquest as well? Yes please 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

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.

"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.

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.

Would love to see Carthaginian conquest of Iberia

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.

Obrigado por including Portugal

Playing a legionary's life, a great small indie game about the 2nd and 3rd punic war, while watching

I like how it takes one pissed-off elephant for a rampaging backfire

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.

I thought this was an interesting video and I'd like to see something on Carthaginian Iberia.

Hey. What happened wit the basques? Did they fell with the astures and cantabrians?

Iberia ALREADY includes Portugal so this " controversy" is just stupid lol

2:50 "Sexi" *Me trying to hold my laughing profusely*

Where are you from because as someone born in Cantabria you have a very good Spanish accent

Why did you cut out the Balearic Islands?

13:00 Cádiz is not read with the Spanish z sound as in Ibiza. It's read as Cádis.

Carthage in Spain please

charles the 5th 1st and 2nd's empire but his mother is not mary of burgundy video ?

imagine being a legionary sent to spain and dying of frostbite

1:08 - 1:40:- From "1000 - 3000 BC" did they live those years *backwards* or did you mean:- **3000 - 1000 BC**❓

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.

But what about the Baleares Hilbert?

Your still missing Andorra 🇦🇩! How dare you leave Andorra off the map of Iberia!

Portugal has the same history as Spain. All Hispania was one until the 12th century.

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.
