Here’s our friend the Roman emperor Trajan looking very serene, dignified and stately. He has gone down in history one of the most effective and beloved leaders of the Roman Empire, and my guess is that few recall that he was actually born in a town just outside of present-day Seville, Spain. He was just one of the many ways in which Hispania proved to be a major asset for Rome. Check out this next episode of our series Spanish History 101, and learn more. Enjoy!
