It's not about this mini-series, but after being discussing with some other commenters, I've thought that it would be nice one or a few videos about Romans in Hispania, being a longer and more complicatd topic than the conquest of Gaul, for instance, starting with the previous context to the Punic Wars, strategic importance of Iberia, Roman civil wars, the rol of Amilcar, Hannibal, Scipio, Cato, Cesar, Augustus, Traianus, Viriato's rebellion, the process of romanization.... There's a lot of interesting stuff there that you've barely touched, except some battles in the context of the civil war.

It's a common problem in reading Roman histories, they have three or four names each and there's no convention on which one or two get used, so it seems like two or three different people all did the same thing. In this case the full name was Scrotus Colossus Maximus Phallus, which gets shortened all kinds of ways. Not sure about the proper full name for Licentia Buttocks, the sources are unclear. And after you fight Gauls, Celts and Germanic tribes, fighting elephants is just a fun trip to the zoo.

This could be one of the greatest period movies to have ever been spawned from Hollywood! Major opportunities here.

Not all Iberia was under Roman control at that time. In a first moment, during the II Punic War, Scipio prevaled against Carthaginians in the territory under their control, wich was rawly the South and East, the Mediterranean side (previously Rome controlled the North East coast until the Iberus river with Tarraco as its more important city), but being most of the North and West out of the Roman control for a while. The Roman conquest of Hispania wasn't really ended until 19 AC, with Augustus. In Rome they used to refer to Hispania as "the first to be invaded and the last to be conquered", for this process took rawly 2 centuries to be completed. Regarding the Hispanic Roman citizenship, it was a gradual process being, if I'm not wrong, Carteia (by Algecira's bay) the first city in getting it out of Italy in 171 BC after a request of their population who was composded mainly for descendants of Roman soldiers and Iberian women. But not all of Hispania had the Roman citizenship when the facts related in this video. Cesar himself granted it to many cities (most of them in the Baetica) after the civil war, precisely for their support on the contest, and this politics was later followed by Augustus. In addition, during all that 200 years process, rebellions were frequent and also Iberian people were often hired as mercenaries for many armies. You put all of that in the chaotic context of a Roman civil war, and it's no strange at all that Lusitanians attacked Romans somewhen. It's also true that Hispania (except the North and North-West) was a good example of a very "romanized" province, but it was so specially during the imperial period, to the point that the first non-Italian emperor was Hispanic, from a very assimilated Turdertanian noble family, born in Italica (city founded by Scipio Africanus, today's Santiponce, very close to Seville). It was Traianus, and after him, his nephew-grandson, Hadrianus.

Don't know the video, but the man who held the bridge was Titus Manlius. He didn't exactly hold the bridge, but defeated a Gallic champion on the bridge who was calling out the Romans, despite the Gaul being rather large and Manlius being short, even for a Roman. The other was Gaius Mucius, who snuck into the enemy camp to try and assassinate Lars Porsenna, who was the Etruscan King attacking Rome. He went into the command tent when pay was being given out and saw two men in noble clothes behind a table giving out the money. He killed the man giving out the pay but it wasn't the king, the other was. When he was grabbed the king asked who he was and he told him that he was the first of 1000 Roman youths that had pledged to assassinate him. When the king ordered him to be tortured to death Mucius thrust his right hand into a brazier and held it there until it was burned off. Lars Persona, impressed with this, and fearing that 999 more such men were coming for him, made a treaty w/ the Romans. Gaius Mucius received the nickname Scaevola, which means left handed. His story is thought by most historians to be fiction.
