''Hispania'' tells the story of [
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.
This action sparks fear in many of the nearby towns, one of them being Caura. Viriato, a widower, lives there with his daughter Altea, and works as a goat-herder for one of the richest men in the town, Teodoro. Helena - Teodoro's daughter - and Viriato love each other, but Teodoro doesn't want him to come near his daughter, as he is planning to marry her to someone else of their social level. Without anyone knowing it, Teodoro is also [[The Mole|a mole]] for the Romans, led by [
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.
Line 29:
* [[Dressing As the Enemy]]: Viriato, Paulo, Sandro and Darío pull this in order to free the Hispanian prisoners in the Roman fort. The only reason they weren't able to bring Nerea with them was because they were caught in the act.
* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]: pretty much all the boys, those short tunics don't leave much to the imagination.
* [[False
* [[Fetish Fuel]]: Ana de Armas is a slave? Where does one sign to get that?
* [[Five-Man Band]]: the initial group of rebels that Viriato manages to make in the first episodes.
Line 42:
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Viriato suffers this when his sister Bárbara commits suicide. It takes a dream with his first wife, his sister and his daughter to go back.
** Paulo suffers one when {{spoiler|Nerea dies.}}
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Pope Alexander VI of the Borgia family goes back in time and works as a praetor for the Roman Republic.
** Hospital Central's psychiatrist makes a Face Heel Turn from a nice guy to a Complete Monster.
** [[El Internado|Carolina]] becomes engaged to [[El Bola]] but then is captured and taken as a slave by Dani from LEX (unrelated to [[Lexx]]). She marries his fiancé after he rescues her.
Line 60:
* [[Rule of Cool]]: the writers have acknowledged that the Roman uniform wasn't standard, because the soldiers had to pay for their uniforms, but they have all Romans wear the same armour for this reason.
* [[Sexy Discretion Shot]]: somewhat averted with a shot where Viriato and Helena are having sex.
* [[Single
** Viriato and Helena. The only reason she was about to marry Alejo was because her father was ruined.
** Averted with Galba and Claudia. Galba sleeps whenever he wants with Sabina and is attempting to have sex with Nerea, while Claudia seems interested in Viriato and, in the middle of the series, manages to seduce Marco.
