		The Lusitanians managed somehow to break the siege imposed by the coastal cities and by the neighbouring tribes, and thus they soon were the dominant power of all the maritime region between the Tagus and the Cantabrian seas, becoming, according to Strabo, "the strongest of all of the Iberian nations".
		The Lusitanian warriors used a small shield hanging from their necks, flax armour, leather helmets, a dagger or a short stabbing knife, and a long spear with a bronze blade.
		The most extraordinary manifestations of Lusitanian culture known to date, are the 3 rupestrian inscriptions in a latin alphabet that reproduce an unknown language.

	Portugal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Before the creation of the Portuguese state, Portugal was ruled by the Phoenicians (from 1104 BC), Carthaginians (from 258 BC), Lusitanians (native insurrection from 194 BC), Romans (from 218 BC), Suevi (from 409), Visigoths (from 416), Arabs (from 711), and Asturians and Leonese (from 739).
		Two of the new tribes formed by the inter-marrying were the Lusitanians, who lived between the Douro and Tagus rivers, and the Calaicians who, lived north of the Douro river.
		Lusitania was especially hard to conquer, because of the leader of the Lusitanians, Viriathus, that since 194 BC re-conquered the entire Portugal and parts of Spain to the Romans.

		Viriathus led the Lusitanian guerrilla fighters to several victories over the Romans between 147 BC and 139 BC before he was betrayed to the Romans by some of his own men and killed.
		Later, when some Lusitanian leaders prepared to make a new agreement with the Romans after a major loss of lives to the Roman army of Caius Vetilius, Viriathus reminded them of Galba's trick and proposed a Lusitanian War against the Romans.
		Knowing that the Lusitanian resistance was largely due to Viriathus' leadership, Marcus Pompilius Lenas bribed Audax, Ditalco and Minurus, three Lusitanians sent by Viriathus as an embassy to establish peace.

	VIRIATHUS FACTS AND INFORMATION
		Viriathus (known as ''Viriato'' in Portuguese and Castilian) (180 BC - 139 BC) was the most important leader of the Lusitanian tribe that resisted Roman expansion into the regions of Western Iberia, where the Roman province of Lusitania would be established (in the areas comprising Portugal, south of the Douro river, and Extremadura in Spain).
		During the Roman period and afterward, many mixed marriages were made, and the population of Portugal became widely mixed, but traces of the Lusitanians persist, especially in the area of Beira Alta.
		Knowing that the Lusitanian resistance was largely due to Viriathus' leadership, Marcus Pompilius Lenas bribed Audax, Ditalcus and Minurus, three Lusitanians sent by Viriathus as an embassy to establish peace.

		After a period of frequent clashes when the Lusitanians repeatedly agreed to and then violated peace accords, Rome lost patience in 151 BC and launched a full-scale attack under Servius Sulpicius Galba.
		Galba replied that the poverty of the Lusitanians’ native soil made it impossible for them to desist from raiding for long, so he proposed a whole-scale resettlement on three fertile plains.
		The Lusitanians were no match for the Roman legions and were pushed back to a fortified town where they were besieged.
