HISTORICAL DESCRIPTION:
Lusitano
The Lusitanian were a set of pre-Roman Iberians of Indo-European inhabitants of the western portion of the Iberian Peninsula since the age of iron. In 29 BC, following the Roman invasion to which long resisted, was created the Roman province of Lusitania within their territories, accounting for much of the current Portugal.
The most notable figure among the Lusitanian Viriato was one of their leaders to fight the Romans. Other leaders were known punicus, Cæsarus, Caucenus, Curius, Apuleius, Connoba and Tantalus.
The Lusitanian are considered by anthropologists and historians, as a people without history records for non-natives have left before the Roman conquest. Information on the Lusitanian us are transmitted through the reports of Greek and Roman authors of antiquity which sometimes causes many problems or conflicts in the interpretation of their texts.
ROOTS
The ancestors of the Lusitanian comprised a mosaic of different tribes that inhabited since the Neolithic Portugal. No one knows for certain the origin of these Celtic tribes, but most likely were from the Swiss Alps and have migrated due to warmer climate in the Iberian Peninsula. Partially amalgamated with the invading Celts, giving rise to the Lusitanian.
Among the many tribes that inhabited the Iberian peninsula when the Romans, was in the western part of the Lusitanian, which some have considered the largest of the Iberian tribes, with which for years fought the Romans.
Ethnicity according to the authors of antiquity
The writers of antiquity identified two ethnic groups in the Iberian Peninsula, Iberia and Celtic, and described the inhabitants as Iberians or Celts, or a mixture of both ethnicities. However the concept of Latin could be used in a general sense, ie in a geographical sense, referring to all its inhabitants, or in a narrow sense to a group of tribes with the same ethnicity, or even could vary depending on the concept of time.
Diodorus considered the Lusitanian a Celtic people, "Those who are called Lusitanian are the bravest of all the Cimbri." Strabo differentiated the Lusitanian tribes of Iberia. Viriato was referred to as leader of Celtiberians. The Lusitano were also called Belitanos second Artemidorus.
Archaeological evidence and ethnographic research suggest that the relatively recent Lusitanian be linked to the Ligurian, possibly through a common origin. Such a theory is accepted by Adriano Vasco Rodrigues, who argues in his book "The Lusitano. However, religion, onomastics, names and place names, and excavations in the Lusitanian show that this is a Celtic people. Among modern authors, however, no consensus exists, are considered Iberian, Celtic or Ligurian
