Course Overview

The shepherd Viriathus unleashed a wave of resistance to save his people from destruction by the Roman Republic, developing alliances with other Iberian groups, and inducing them to rebel against Rome. He led his army, supported by most of the Lusitanian and Vetton tribes as well as by other Celt-Iberian allies, to several victories over the Romans between 147 BCE and 139 BCE before his betrayal and murder. Of him, Theodor Mommsen said, "It seemed as if, in that thoroughly prosaic age, one of the Homeric heroes had reappeared." We’ll watch a short film to trace the history of Viriathus and his resistance against insurmountable odds.
