Hispanos

Trajan and Hadrian, the most admired emperors that Rome knew, the saga of the Seneca, Gala Placidia, the empress who negotiated with the Huns, the poets Lucanus and Martial, Quintilian, the teacher of teachers... The Hispanic cannot be defined , is not a concept. Hispania is a group of men and women who lived in the Iberian Peninsula while it was under the power of Rome. We can describe her physically and geographically, but her soul must be sought in those existences, some hidden in the wide river of history, that gave her life and glory. In this book, Carlos Goñi guides us with ingenious mastery and vividness through the great characters that made Rome more Hispanic than ever. Philosophers, writers, politicians, soldiers, leaders and emperors that allow us to reveal the unique character of this town and the incalculable value of its legacy. An exciting story that seeks to recognize the immense contribution of Hispania to the history and culture of the West, as well as to raise the question that legitimately must be asked: to what extent are we still Hispanic today?
