in 150 BC, when a rebellion began in the north. The
Lusitanians and other native tribes, under the leadership of Viriathus, wrested control of all of
western Iberia.
Rome sent numerous legions and its best generals to Lusitania to quell the rebellion, but to no
avail -- the Lusitanians kept conquering territory. The Roman leaders decided to change their
strategy. They bribed Viriathus's allies to kill him. In 139 BC, Viriathus was assassinated, and
Tautalus became leader.
Rome installed a colonial regime. The complete Romanization of Lusitania only took place in
the Visigothic era.
