The page indicates Marcus Aurelius was born in Hispania, whereas his page says he was born in Rome.

Overall, article is very good. Making some of the terms like Qunitus Ennius into links by using the

Links to other wiki would save readers some trouble. Also, you might want to change the third section title to 'Roman effects on Hispania'. 'Carthago' in the second line of Paragraph 2 (History section) is missing an 'h' in spelling. 'the Lusitania’s success' in Paragraph 3 of History, doesn't seem right.. At the end of the same paragraph, Hispania is misspelled as 'Hispanica'. I think the History section is well-organized, but the Roman Effects section seems to jump around a little. You also might extend the See Also section to include a couple more terms. Were you able to uncover data on the culture of the people living in the region? That might give the article a more wholesome background.
However, this article does provide a lot of information on an topic that was previously neglected. Well-written, and for the most part, well organized. —The preceding

I agree - good article. The broad historical sweep and relation to other events of the period are excellent. Same comment as some of the others - please make citations in the body of the text so readers have an idea of where you're getting information from. Use the reference command in wikipedia.
As far as the geographic boundaries and picture, I would suggest using the same picture from the Spanish wikipedia entry.
Also, a section begins by referring to a war which started in 155 BC, and says it continued to 19 BC with Agrippa's victory. It would be nice to know more about what motivated the revolt, what sustained it, and some of its intricacies. One example is the control which Sextus Pompey exercised over the region after Caesar's death. All in all, good work.

Praetors and titles
Into the second century all governors of the Spains were titled pro consule. Most of them, but not all, were ex-praetors. This is a shift in previous practice where the Spains were ruled by praetors directly, then ex-praetors pro praetore. See generally Drogula Commanders and command (2015).
