Conclude that the management of Graco and Albino had been largely positive. Celtiberia and Vascon area had been actually subjected. Penetration was undertaken in the land of the vacceos. Lusitanian militancy had subsided. Thus, while the limits of Hispania Ulterior defendants were unchanged, those of Citerior widened dramatically, the border ran from Jaca to Calagurris (Calahorra), thence, skirting the east Moncayo, twisted into Segontia (Sigüenza .) Continued through the valleys of the Tajo de Henares and to mark a sharp shift to the south, between Toletum (Toledo) and Aibura (Talavera de la Reina). Cutting the forests Toledo and the valley of the Guadiana, finally joined the limits of the Further northwest of Iliturgi (Andújar). Albino Graco and received well-deserved honors in Rome triumphant. Returnees and veterans were awarded bonuses. And during the next 33 years (178-155) the peace reigned in the Roman provinces of Hispania.
But not without some violent incidents merce is worth exploring ...
It is true that what happened during this period is very little we know, but enough to get an idea of \u200b\u200bthe morals of the magistrates who succeeded Graco. The fact that the office of praetor was elected induced the annual a larceny race to beat the mark than their predecessors in office had been set, not only for the money given to the treasury, but acquired wealth to their advantage. Thus, many of the successors of Graco blatantly violated the treaties it had concluded with the Celts. The losers tried to defend themselves as they could. No shortage of armed revolt, but with the conviction that by force they would get nothing except to harden their treatment of the magistrates, in the end chose to send legates to Rome to denounce the Senate pillage and terror scheme imposed by the envoys of Rome, in flagrant violation of existing treaties.
In year 171 in Rome were already members. There was no lack honest men who made it possible for the establishment of a tribunal to hold accountable those responsible. A. Canuleyo was appointed to examine the cause. MP and P. Cato Scipio Nasic were appointed patrons or defenders of the province Citerior, and L. Paulo Emilio and Sulpicius Gallus, the Ulterior. But the Senate was unwilling to allow it to be pulled the blanket and discovered the whole truth. As soon shook off Canuleyo, sending him to Spain to try to prevent that Hispanics continue bothering Roman patricians. A few agreements, which would be a dead letter, served to reassure momentarily to the plaintiffs. But the guilty go unpunished. Among the defendants were Furio and Matiena, which was hinted at the advisability of leaving Rome for some time. Titino, who had behaved in Hispania as a real criminal, was acquitted in the third instance. Obviously, there were many people in high places to be given interested in shelving the annoying process
take place at this time also the foundations of several colonies that showed even more clearly intended to completely assimilate Rome, politically and culturally , Hispania. In Carteia (Algeciras), Canuleyo allowed the installation of the people who were born Roman and English from the first years of occupation. In the 169 a. BC, the praetor M. Mercel Claudio founded the colony of Corduba (Córdoba), which is called "colony patricia", having been established in her many noble Romans, including senators and members of the equestrian order.
