Hispanics in Rome?

Hispanics refers to the island of Hispaniola. So the Romans sent Dominicans to Judea?

I never knew that.

Hispania was the name given to the Roman province of Spain by the Romans BEFORE America was discovered. People from Hispania could be termed Hispanic or Hispanians I suppose.

In a modern context, “Hispanic” means someone of Spainish American Culture and Hispanola has nothing to do with it.

Even Brazilians are not “Hispanic” as they are Portugese American.
