HISTORY Lusitania In the early first millennium BC, several waves of Celts invaded Portugal from Central Europe and intermarried with local peoples, the Iberians, forming the Celt-Iberians. Early Greek explorers named the region "Ophiussa" (Greek for "land of serpents") because the natives worshipped serpents. In 238 BC, the Carthaginians occupied the Iberian coasts. In this period several small tribes occupied the territory, the main tribes were the Lusitanians, who lived between the Douro and Tagus rivers, and the Callaeci who lived north of the Douro river among some other tribes. The Conii, influenced by Tartessos, were established in southern Portugal for a long time. The Celtici, a later wave of Celts, settled in Alentejo. In 219 BC, the first Roman troops invaded the Iberian Peninsula, driving the Carthaginians out in the Punic Wars. The Roman conquest of Portugal started from the south, where they found friendly natives, the Conii. Over decades, the Romans increased their sphere of control. But in 194 BC a rebellion began in the north, the Lusitanians successfully held off the Romans, took back land and ransacked Conistorgis, the Conii capital, because of their alliance with Rome. Viriathus, the Lusitanian leader, drove the Roman forces out. Rome sent numerous legions, but success was only achieved by bribing Lusitanian officials to kill their own leader. During this period, a process of Romanization was carried out, leading Lusitania to gain Latin Right in 73 AD.

PORTUGAL INTRODUCTION Portugal is located at South-West extreme of Europe and consists of the mainland and the islands: the Azores (Açores) and Madeira islands. It is 91,905 sq. km in area and has the population of almost 9.928 million people (1998). 36 per cent of the population is urban. Homogeneous Mediterranean people make up the majority population. A small African ethnic minority reminds of the Portugal’s colonial history. 97 per cent of the population belong to the Roman Catholic religion and the official language is Portuguese. The polarity between a few major cities (Lisbon and Oporto in the first place) with abundant cultural facilities on one side and rural areas which remain peripheral and fairly isolated on the other, still marks the environment for cultural policy in Portugal. Formerly strictly centralized, the cultural field in Portugal is undergoing profound changes, not merely from the administrative point of view, but also in terms of global restructuring. The approach of the state is changing and more and more effort is being put into shaping a balanced and more decentralized system. The demand for a more even distribution of cultural initiatives and funding is influencing the development of a new model of regional division of the country. GENERAL DIRECTIONS OF CULTURAL POLICY These initiatives have caused a great promotion of cultural resources, as well as increased professionalization of cultural life.

The Culture of Portugal Culture Portugal is located on the West Coast of the Iberian Peninsula it shares this with Spain. Portuguese culture is closely related to Spanish culture and has been influenced by the three primary cultures from which it derives: the Latin, the Visigoth, and the Muslim. By Ethan P. Geographic Location Many of the men in Portugal brave the rugged waters of the Atlantic Ocean in small boats to catch fish. The women and children do such chores as cleaning the fish and mending the net. The Portuguese maintain close family ties. Often, two or more generations of a family live together in the same house. Men and women who moved to cities from villages tend to keep in close touch with their relatives back home. Most of the people of Portugal who practice a religion are Roman Catholic. Women most often stay in the home while the men go out of the home to make a living for the family. By Kyler M. Traditions in Portugal In Portugal, the father of the family is called as the bread winner, and the mother has the job of watching the house as well as the family. Today, the male role is not as important as the roll of the woman. In Portugal, children make their own decisions. They also have much freedom outside of the home. Due to the amount of freedom, children still aren't allowed to leave the home until they are married and have their own children.

PORTUGAL DISCOVER PORTUGAL HOME PORTUGAL DISCOVER PORTUGAL Culture Culture of Portugal CULTURE OF PORTUGAL Portugal is an ancient nation and for more than 1000 years it has maintained its specific culture through a self-governing venture while being influenced by the various civilizations that crossed the Mediterranean world. Thus, it has always absorbed habits and traditions from such early civilizations and from the regions that it discovered and conquered throughout the world during the Portuguese empire, establishing a specific legacy. An example of this absorption and adaptation of previous culture is seen in the countless festivals to pagan local and Roman deities which were transformed into festivals to Christian saints; only some pagan festivals have changed little over 2,000 years, despite the religious passion of the Middle Ages and the inquisition. Portuguese music is represented by a wide variety of forms. The most renowned Portuguese music is Fado , a form of melancholic music. The music is usually linked to the Portuguese guitar and the Portuguese word saudade. Although without an accurate equivalent in English, saudade is describable as a common human feeling; it occurs when one is in love with someone or something yet apart from him, her, or it. The style conveys a distinct mixture of sadness, pain, nostalgia, happiness and love. Fado origins are probably from a mixture of African slave rhythms with traditional music of Portuguese sailors, with Arabic influence. There are two varieties of Fado; that of Lisbon and that of Coimbra.
