Did it ever occur to you that a younger Fidel Castro looks a lot like Irish actor Liam Neeson?
Might have something to do with Castro's dad being from Galicia in the north of Spain. Castro is the Roman word for a Celtic hill fort. There's bunches of hill fort ruins in the Spain.
Italians need to remember [Ed like to write the Irish need to remember columns] that when Hannibal of Carthage had the Roman Republic on the ropes, Scipio Africanus saved the day by defeating the Carthaginians in Spain and then invading African where Scipio defeated Hannibal at Zama. The key to Scipio's victory was an alliance with Spain's Celts. Years later after Scipio was gone, his descendants turned on their allies and, in a very rough way (remember Numantia), took over running things in Spain and made everyone speak Latin.
Even more years later Marcus Aurelius, a Spaniard, became one of Rome's greatest emperors. We commemorate the day of his death every March 17.
