Quinto Sertorio
Quinto Sertorio was a Roman general and politician who lived from 122 to 72 BC, known for his significant role in the Sertorian War, a civil war in the Roman Republic that took place in Hispania. Sertorio is often romanticized as a symbol of resistance against oppression, particularly in 19th-century Spain, where he was portrayed as a heroic figure fighting for freedom. His military strategies and political acumen allowed him to gain support from local Iberian tribes, but ultimately, he was betrayed and assassinated, leaving a complex legacy that continues to be debated by historians.
