Items Lusones people

(en) The Lusones were an ancient Celtiberian Pre-Roman people of the Iberian Peninsula, who lived in the high Tajuña River valley, northeast of Guadalajara. They were eliminated by the Romans as a significant threat in the end of the 2nd century BC. The Lusones joined their neighbours the Arevaci, Belli and Titii in the Celtiberian Confederacy] in the 3rd-2nd centuries BC and fought alongside their allies in the Celtiberian Wars against Rome, until the destruction of Numantia brought the collapse of the alliance in 134-133 BC. Prior to that, they were defeated by Proconsul Quintus Caecilius Metellus Macedonicus in 142 BC and despite being forcibly incorporated into the Hispania Citerior province, they continued to resist Roman authority for decades. A warlike people, the Lusones plotted with the Arevaci and Pellendones the anti-Roman uprisings that rocked Celtiberia throughout most of the 1st Century BC. These revolts served only to weaken the Lusones, and by mid-Century they had been driven out from the right bank of the Ebro by the Vascones, who seized four of their key border towns including Gracurris. The Lusones virtually disappear from the historical record upon the end of the Sertorian Wars in 72 BC, and little is known from them afterwards though is likely that they merged with their neighbours, the Belli and Titii.
