Spanish TV series Hispania, Another Very Good Display of The Spanish Phenotype Spectrum

[alnortedelsur]

The videos are short, since they are just trailers of the TV series.

Is a TV series set up on the second century BC, when the ancestors of today's Iberians bravely fought against the Roman conquest. All the actors and actresses (including the ones who make the role of Romans) are Spanish.

Do you think the ones that play the role of Romans could pass as ancient Romans or current Italians, btw?

Thanks in advance for your opinions.

Again the usual Southern and Western Euro mix. Lluis Homar reminds me of Bryn Terfel - very NW Euro face in fact.

I suppose so, though the features would be a bit atypical.

Yeah, I think there is a strong overlap between Spaniards and Italians. Lots of Spaniards could reasonably blend in Italy, but with their features being a bit atypical, and same goes vice versa.

I also share you opinion, most Spaniards fit in Italy and vice versa. I think Italy is more Alpine and Dinarid, while Spain has more Gracile-Med and Berid types, but all these types exist in both countries, the proportion that differs.
I also have the impression that Iberians have a bigger proportion of unique looks/vibe than Italians, don't know to explain into words.

Never heard of it, looks like a cool show.

I'm aware of this show for a long time, but never watched it, couldn't find Eng subs.

Double post.

Yeah, same for that show about Queen Isabella. I wanted to watch it but as far as I can tell there's no subbed version.
