Greetings all,
 
On this day we reflect with sadness on the Vandal and Alans tribes crossing the Pyrenees mountains to the Roman province of Hispania, which they wrested from Roman control on October 13th in 409 AD:

 
In 551 AD during the reign of Emperor Justinian I, part of Hispania would later be briefly re-taken from the Visigoths by an army under the command of Petrus Marcellinus Felix Liberius.This reconquest recovered an area along the Mediterranean coast roughly corresponding to the ancient province of Baetica, known as Spania.
