Viriato (English spelling)
? - 139 BCE
A Lusitanian chieftain who resisted the Roman advance into the Iberian Peninsula. Born a shepherd in the Serra da Estrela, he led a guerilla war against the Roman army that had invaded Lusitania in 154 BC, and was praised by Roman historians for his courage and impartiality. After eight years of resistance, he managed to reach a peace treaty, but in 139 BC he was killed by a subordinate who had been bribed by the Romans, and Lusitania soon came under Roman control.

ローマ人のイベリア半島進出に抵抗したルシタニアの首長。エストレラ山脈の羊飼いとして生まれたが,前154年からルシタニアに侵入してきたローマ軍に対してゲリラ戦を指揮し,ローマの歴史家たちからその勇気,公平無私な人柄を賞賛されていた。8年間の抵抗ののち,和平条約にこぎつけたが,前139年ローマ人に買収された部下の裏切りにあって殺害され,まもなくルシタニアはローマの支配下に入った。【金七 紀男】
