Province, 117 CE
Hispania Baetica
Senatorial province (proconsul)Capital: Corduba
The richest Spanish province, named for the Baetis (Guadalquivir) river that carried its olive oil to Rome — so much of it that the amphorae stamps recovered from Monte Testaccio, Rome's broken-pottery hill, are mostly Baetican. Trajan and Hadrian both had family roots here, at Italica just upriver from Corduba.
