'''''Hispania''''' tells the story of [[wikipedia:Viriathus|Viriato]], a Lusitanian man who, when [[The Roman Republic]] invaded Hispania, went into the mountains and started a guerrilla war against the Romans in an effort to expel them from his beloved Hispania. So far, this Spanish TV series has only gone through its first season, but already has a great following thanks to its hooking story and realistic portrayal of their characters.
 
The series proper starts with the attack to one town where the people are celebrating the wedding between Paulo and Nerea. The Romans kill several people and imprison many more to sell them as slaves, amongst them Nerea, who is taken away while Paulo can't do anything but watch as the Romans do so.
Line 9:
 
When Teodoro goes to tell Galba that the Hispanian people are willing to make a deal with him, Galba says that if the men of Hispania go to a certain plain and give out all of their weapons, he will stop making war with them. Viriato, and many others with him - his brother-in-law Sandro one of them - go to the designated place, because they don't want war. Altea comes with her father, and he relents. However, everything is a trap: when the Hispanians give their weapons, Roman troops surround them and start a massacre. Few people survive: Viriato fell to the ground, injured, and the last thing he saw was her daughter being corralled by the Romans. Believing her to be dead, Viriato swears a [[Blood Oath]] to fight the Romans as revenge for what they have done to his people and, especially, his daughter.

This series provides examples of:
* [[Action Girl]]: Nerea is one starting from season 2.

Line 55:
** Héctor. A couple of times, he goes to the Romans, because he believes that they are going to win and would like to save his skin. Doesn't work when he gets crucified. During the second season, he becomes a mole for the Hispanians when he enrols as a mercenary in the Roman army.
* [[Mooks]]: the Roman soldiers.
* [[PietaPietà Plagiarism]]: {{spoiler|when Nerea dies, Paulo holds her as she dies.}}
* [[Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves]]: when Héctor decides to tell the Romans some things about the Hispanians, he gets "rewarded" with the cross.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Sandro is prone to have this. The biggest one: when he learns that Teodoro told the Romans about Barbara (his wife and Viriato's sister).
