Lusitania
Ancient area of the Iberian peninsula, roughly equivalent to Portugal. Conquered by Rome in 139 BC, the province of Lusitania rebelled periodically until it was finally conquered by Pompey (73–72 BC). As constituted by Augustus in AD 5, the province included all of Portugal and much of western Spain.
