Callaeci-Lusitanians
.

History
An off-shot of the Turduli people, the Turduli Oppidani trekked northwards around the 5th century BC in conjunction with the Celtici[2][3][4] and ended settling the present-day central coastal Portuguese Estremadura-Beira Litoral Province.
The Oppidani seem to have become clients of the
Lusitani sometime prior to the mid-3rd Century BC and then of Carthage at the latter part of the century. Their history after the Second Punic War is less clear; is it almost certain that the Oppidani remained under Lusitani overlordship and bore the brunt of the first Roman thrusts into the Iberian northwest. In 138-136 BC Consul Decimus Junius Brutus devastated their lands in retaliation for them helping the Lusitani.[5]
The Oppidani were certainly defeated and technically included in
Propraetor Julius Caesar.[7]
Romanization
They were later aggregated by Emperor Augustus into the new Lusitania Province in 27-13 BC.[citation needed]
