The
Lusitanian War, called in Greek
Pyrinos Polemos ("the Fiery War"), was a war of resistance fought by the
Lusitanian tribes of
Hispania Ulterior against the advancing legions of the
Roman Republic from 155 to 139 BC. The Lusitanians revolted on two separate occasions (155 and again 146) and were pacified. In 154 BC, a long war in
Hispania Citerior, known as the
Numantine War, was begun by the
Celtiberians. It lasted until 133 and is an important event in the integration of what would become
Portugal into the Roman and
Latin-speaking world.
