Talk:Conímbriga

message: There are some contradictions in the text of this article, in one paragraph it says the Romans invaded in the "2nd Century A.D.", and another says they arrived in the "second half of the Ist century B.C." Anyone with knowledge on the topic have any insights? - AKeen 19:12, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, 2nd Century BC should be correct: The invasion of the iberian peninsula started with the celtiberian war which started 197 BC and ended around 179 BC. With the end of numantian war (154 BC - 133 BC) all of the iberian peninsula had been occupied by the romans. --84.167.214.160 12:10, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Julius Caesar ended the celtic resistance around 60 BC. - The origins of the Conii is quite uncertain though Herodot lists them as an iberian tribe. Most probably the name Conimbriga does result from the Conii (there were at least two Conimbriga which I know of - one by Coimbra/ Portugal and one near Murcia/ Spain): Coni briga - Coni being the celtic name for the Conii and the celtic word brigg meaning "hill, hide-out, fort". Brigg may mean fort but doesn't have to. Take a look at german(ic) Berg/ Burg which are derived from the same indo-european stem. It's unclear how far north the Conii territory reached but at least as far as central Portugal - territory which was later on occupied by lusitanian and celtiberian tribes. Take a look at the situation around 200 BC: http://arkeotavira.com/Mapas/Iberia/Populi.htm - From the tartessic/ conian Keition to Conimbriga that's just slightly over 200 km. Not that far away! It is plausible. --84.167.214.160 12:10, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The first element of the placename is more likely to mean "high place" (see the reference in the article as now amended, plus amongst others Adrian Room Placenames of the World pub. McFarland 2006). -- Picapica (talk) 09:27, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
