Hispania Ulterior (English: "Further Hispania", or occasionally "Thither Hispania"[1]) was a Roman province located in Hispania (on the Iberian peninsula) during the Roman Republic, roughly located in Baetica and in the Guadalquivir valley of modern Spain and extending to all of Lusitania (modern Portugal, Extremadura and a small part of Salamanca province) and Gallaecia (modern Northern Portugal and Galicia). Its capital was Corduba.
