During the Roman Triumvirate of 42 BCE, what region of the Roman Republic was given to Lepidus?

  • Italia
  • Hispania
  • Gallia
  • Asia
Explanation

During the Roman triumvirate of 42 BCE, the region of Hispania was given to Lepidus. This decision was made due to a combination of factors. Firstly, Lepidus was the least influential among the three triumvirs, Caesar, Pompey, and Lepidus himself. By giving him control over Hispania, which was relatively distant from Rome, the other two triumvirs could maintain their dominance in more critical regions. Secondly, Hispania was a wealthy and resource-rich territory, providing Lepidus with a substantial amount of power and resources. By granting him control over Hispania, it served as a way to balance the distribution of power among the triumvirs.
