ote: This denario represents the defeat of the Hispanic peoples and the domination of Rome. The Roman provinces of the Iberian Peninsula, then called Hispania (now Spain and Portugal), are personified by a woman with an expression of[HISPAN] pain, since Lusitania's submission is embodied through the togada male figure that extends her right arm over a legionary eagle. To his left, fasces, consular insignia, symbolize dignity and power.
