	e-Keltoi: Volume 6, The Celts in the Iberian Peninsula, Álvarez-Sanchís, Oppida and Celtic society in ...
		In any case, the population size of the Vetton communities, according to the cemeteries and the size of the settlements, indicates that some other important aspects were involved besides demography: social organization, the subsistence economy or the cultural traditions of the people.
		Vetton society in the fourth and third centuries BC was a stratified society led by an aristocratic elite that owned horses and sumptuous weapons that marked their position at the head of a larger group of warriors with a simpler panoply (Martín Valls 1986-87: 78; Álvarez-Sanchís 1999: 295 ff.).
		The size of the walled areas, the remains of monumental buildings, the layout of the houses and the density of the materials found on the surface suggest that the settlement was divided into several sectors or districts (Álvarez-Sanchís 1999: 144; Ruiz Zapatero and Álvarez-Sanchís 1999).

	Lusitanians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first area colonized by the Lusitanians was probably the Douro valley and the region of Beira Alta; in Beira they stayed until they defeated the Celts and other tribes, then they expanded to cover a territory that reached Estremadura before the arrival of the Romans.
		Originally the Roman province of Lusitania included the territories of Asturia and Gallaecia, but these were later ceded to the jurisdiction of new Provincia Tarraconensis and the former remained as Provincia Lusitania et Vettones.

		The Vettones (between the Tagus and the Upper Douro) were thereby induced to make common cause with the Lusitanians; and these, thus reinforced, were enabled to extend their excursions as far as the Mediterranean, and to pillage even the territory of the Bastulo-Phoenicians not far from the Roman capital New Carthage (Cartagena).
		Marcellus could thus proceed to the southern province, where the Vettones and Lusitanians had professed submission to the praetor Marcus Atilius so long as he remained within their bounds, but after his departure had immediately revolted afresh and chastised the allies of Rome.
		The power of the Romans had not risen more than the national sense of honour had sunk; in the capital men were glad to be rid of the irksome war, and the senate and people ratified the treaty.

	Gavin’s Blog » Viriathus vs Rome
		The Romans had never succeeded in occupying Lusitania, but the Lusitanians, due in part to lack of good arable land, constantly preyed on neighbouring tribes for food and materials.
		Rome did manage to take control of these neighbouring tribes, the Vettones and Celtici, but the Lusitanians continued the raids regardless.
		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.

		Except for Vervain, no plant was more esteemed by old-time herbalists than Betony, whence the Italian proverb, "Sell your coat and buy Betony." From Vettones, an ancient people inhabiting the Ibernian peninsula.
		The Vettones in Spain discovered the plant called vettonica in Gaul, serratula ("the plant with leaves like a saw") in Italy, and cestros or psychotrophon by the Greeks, a plant more highly valued than any other.
		It springs up with an angular stem of two cubits, spreading out from the root leaves rather like those of lapathum, serrated, and with a purple fruiting-head.

		Pliny says the river pushes apart the "Austurian Vettones" from the "Lustanian Gallicians" because it's between both sets of words "Asturia Vettonibus" and "Lusitania Gallaecis" that the latin word meaning "from" is placed.
		Pliny is saying the "Lusitanian Gallicians" are separated from the "Asturian Vettones" which is geographically correct, the Vettones in Asturia are separated by the Galicians in Lusitania in the region of the rising of the Douro river.So you see, Pliny connects the Gallecians to Lusitania.
		The word "from" does not necessarily have to be between them to actually mean that, like it would in English or any other "modern" vernaculars.
