Topic: Turduli


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

The excentric localization of Turduli and Celtics populations is owed to a joint expedition (originated from the Guadiana) that is mentioned by Strabo.
After several misfortunes (including the death of a leader) this expedition scattered itself, with the Turduli occupying the area between the Douro and the Vouga, and the Celts occupying Galicia.
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".

 On the Fabric of the Human Body | Essays | Vesalius on the authority of the authorities
Granted that perhaps Adam's bones, had someone articulated them into a skeleton, might have lacked a rib on one side, it does not necessarily follow on that account that all men are lacking a rib as well.
Aristotle attributed only eight ribs to humans, and was ready to allow that certain members of the race of the Turduli were born with only seven ribs on each side, provided he established this on the actual testimony of some suitable authority.
But as in the latter instance Aristotle was willing to support his opinion only with the testimony of others, it is also not unlikely that in the former instance he ascribed eight ribs to man on hearsay evidence, and in this manner wrongly handed down to us something he had not seen.

 Celtici information - Search.com
Turduli movement in red, Celtici in brown and Lusitanian in blue.
The Celtici (Latin for "Celts") were an ancient Celtic tribe of Lusitania, akin to the Lusitanians and Gallaecians, living in what today are the provinces of Alentejo and the Algarve in Portugal, though some migrated north alongside the Turduli.
Their presence was the result of a third or even fourth wave of migrations of Celts (or other speakers of Indo-European languages) into the Iberian peninsula (which the Romans called Hispania).

 Celt (people) - LoveToKnow 1911
They appear to have spread southwards into Spain, occupying most of that country as far south as Gades (Cadiz), some tribes, e.g.
Turdentani and Turduli, forming permanent settlements and being still powerful there in Roman times; and in northern central Spain, from the mixture of Celts with the native Iberians, the population henceforward was called Celtiberian.
About this time also took place a great invasion of Italy; Segovisus and Bellovisus, the nephews of Ambigatus, led armies through Switzerland, and over the Brenner, and by the Maritime Alps, respectively (Livy v.

 Pliny's Natural History
We then come to the river Limia, and the river Durius, one of the largest in Spain, and which rises in the district of the Pelendones, passes near Numantia, and through the Arevaci and the Vaccæi, dividing the Vettones from Asturia, the Gallæci from Lusitania, and separating the Turduli from the Bracari.
The whole of the region here mentioned from the Pyrenees is full of mines of gold, silver, iron, and lead, both fl and white.
From this spot to the middle of the Pyrenees, Varro says, is a distance of 1400 miles; while to the Anas, by which we have mentioned Lusitania as being separated from Bætica, is 126 miles, it being 102 more to Gades.

 Braga
It has been suggested, however, that it was founded by the Gadhelic Celts, also known as Bracari (hence the name Bracara, the original form of the present Braga).
Other authors consider the Andalusian Turduli to have been here at the same time as the Bracari, and that they lived side by side.
In 250 B.C. Bracara was conquered by the Romans who held it for a long time, dedicating the town to the Emperor Augustus.

But, of the one hundred and seventy–five settlements included in the creation of Baetica by Augustus, Ptolemy lists eighty–eight and of these only twenty–one can be reasonably identified to known Roman sites by the similarity of their names.
Ptolemy mentions four tribal groups, the Bastuli which he notes are Phoenician by descent, the Turduli and the Turdetani.
on the coast and along the border with Lusitania and inland from the south coats and along the border with Tarraconensis are the Turduli.

 Algarve Towns & Photos - Portugal, Algarve
The Algarve has been inhabited for thousands of years but the first developed society was probably the Phoenicians in 1.100 BC and then followed by the Tartessus tribe to about 600 BC.
In the same century there is also evidence of a tribe by the name of "Conii" being found around the area of Vila Real de Santo António followed by another tribe named "Turduli" in the same area in 400 BC.
In between these two tribes the whole area had been inhabited by a wave of Celts.

Gadira was the chief port of Tartessos, or the Tarshish which appears in Scripture as a celebrated emporium, rich in iron, tin, lead, silver, and other commodities.
There was a temple of the Phoenician Melkarth at Tartessus, whose worship was also spread amongst the neighbouring Iberians, the Turduli and Turdetani, the most civilised and polished of all the Iberian tribes.
They cultivated the sciences; they had their poets and historians, and a code of written laws, drawn up in a metrical form – another link to the figure of Ogmios, the Celtic Herakles.

Varro sayeth, that there entred into all parts of Spaine, the Herians, Persians, Phænicians, Celtes, and Carthaginians or Africanes: for Lusus, the companion of Father Libes or Liba, (which signifieth the franticke furie of those that raged with him) gave the name to Lusitania; and Pan was the governour of it all.

 Andalusia
Fairs of great local interest are held in both cities in the week following these services.
Andalusia was inhabited in early historic times by a people of Iberian origin; the Turdetani occupied what are now the provinces of Seville and Huelva; the Turduli, Jaen, Cordova, and part of Granada; the Bastuli, Malaga, and the coast of Granada; and the Bastetani, Jaen, Guadix, Baza, and Almeria.
To this region called Tarshish in the Bible and Tartessos by Greek writers, the Phoenicians came, about the year 1100 B.C., settling in what is now Cadiz, and later spreading to Malaga, Adra, and Jete, all three celebrated for their deposits of salt.

The epigraph can be dated between the end of the 1st.
A.D. Referring to this date, the sources which quote the turduli of Baeturia, and to the current archeological data concerning them, I connect the inscription with the passage 3.1.6 of Strabon.
This passage mentions that there were no differences between the Turdulans and Turdetans in his time.

When the Greeks reached the Iberian peninsula a few centuries after the Phoenicians, they called the land Tartessos.
(The word “Tartessos” is a Greek version of the root trt/trd, which appears in a number of indigenous names—for example, Turduli, Turdetani—of the southwest Iberian peninsula.) For the Greeks, Tartessos was the mysterious land on the other side of Hercules’s columns (the Rock of Gibraltar); it was the gateway to the terra incognita.
According to the fifth-century B.C. historian Herodotus, Tartessian civilization was discovered accidentally by a Greek named Kolaios, who became extremely rich as a result of his trade with the Tartessians (History 4.152 ff.).
