Lusitania

This article concerns the Roman province. For the ship, see RMS Lusitania. For other uses, see Lusitania (disambiguation). Lusitania was an ancient Roman province approximately including all of modern Portugal south of the Douro river, and part of modern Spain (the present autonomous community of  Extremadura and a small part of the province of Salamanca). It was named after the Lusitani or Lusitanian people (an Indo-European people, probably Proto-Celtic or Celt). Its capital was Emerita Augusta (currently Mérida), and it was initially part of the Roman Republic province of Hispania Ulterior, before becaming a province of its own in the Roman Empire.
