History book, based on ancient and modern historical sources, with little publicized facts, much research and delivery in a project that aims to be a reference among the various titles available. Imbued with the true Portuguese spirit.

We believe that solidarity will be essential for raising support for the publication of the book. The existence of some funds is not sufficient for the realization of the project that constitutes the edition of a small literary work, alluding to Viriato and the Lusitanian Warriors, a theme that motivated exhaustive research, giving it credibility, and is part of the memory of the Portuguese collective. . With accessible reading and interpretation, including illustrations, the text reveals events that are still little publicized, which leads us to read it with growing enthusiasm. In a size of 15 x 23, the book is presented with a color cover, illustrating the content in an allusive manner, with 140 pages in an edition of 200 copies.

Viriato and the Lusitanos are a controversial topic with regard to the birthplace of the former and the origin of the latter. As for Viriato, his integrity, his charisma and spirit of sacrifice, opinions are unanimous in extolling his qualities. Inescapable is the fact that Viriato achieved the military unification of the countless tribes that constituted Lusitania, against the unquestionable military power of Rome. It highlights the legacy that Viriato and the Lusitanos left us in the peninsular context, particularly in the definition of the current Portuguese territory and in the noble Alma Portuguesa.
