Assigning a Celtic tradition often seems to be the perfect recipe to organize certain archeological, epigraphic and linguistic evidences that appear to fit with what we think once formed part of a broad Celtic culture. Nevertheless, despite its popular appeal, such approach to attribute a Celtic tradition to these features is often tricky. The presence of Celtic anthroponyms and theonyms does not always suppose necessarily a Celtic affiliation of a given territory, while certain iconographic elements might have alternative interpretations.
In this paper we address some of these difficulties, in what the Portuguese territory is concerned, focusing on the literary tradition, the linguistic elements and the archaeological records in order to distinguish between the raw materials themselves and the theories formed upon those over the past years.

This paper aims at a social evaluation of two communities, Mérida and Mértola, in the Late Antiquity, through the epigraphic evidence. Although it is always difficult to define the society through the funerary evidence, specially in christian inscriptions with monotonous texts. These communities share the same river, Guadiana, and the same commercial trend with the Orient. Merida, the religious and political capital, was socially much more important than Mértola. The evidence of bishops and noblemen in Merida contrasts with the elites of Mértola, presbiteri and viri honesti, not of noble rank. Yet the extraordinary wealth of Mértola confirms its economic importance.

Onomastics had been used both as a way to evaluate the degree of romanization of the people and for dating inscriptions. The generalization of this practice, when dealing with very simple texts written on rough surfaces such as granite, and specially regarding onomastics of indigenous structure, can prduce a large amount of incorrectly dated monuments. Inscriptions with clear chronology will help to show the problems that could arise when evaluating the sociocultural standard of the holders of indigenous onomastics.

O projecto GADCILANAS é a continuação de doisprojectos anteriores dedicados ao estudo do hábito epigráfico na Bética ocidental (FFI2012-39395-C02-01 e HUM2006/04596), no âmbito dos quais seelaborou o corpus atualizado das inscrições da parte setentrional do conventus Hispalensis (CIL II 2/4) para a nova edição do Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum da Hispânia. Con este projecto pretende-se alcançar dois objectivos:
1. Dar seguimento à edição dos volumes da Béticado CIL II(2), pelo extremo ocidental do conventus Gaditanus, onde confina com o conventus Hispalensis.
2. Como consequência dos resultados alcançados no estudo dos territórios que fazem fronteira entre os conventus Hispalensis e Pacensis, no projeto anterior (FFI2012-39395-C02-01), considera-se necessário integrar as inscrições do território português situado na margem esquerda do Guadiana no conventus Hispalensis, recuperando-se assim a fronteira entre províncias proposta por E. Hübner, no antigo CIL II. Os territórios afectados são os concelhos de Barrancos, Moura e Serpa, no distrito de Beja.

Publication Name: Nueva edición de CIL II: - 1. Inscripcio- nes del extremo occidental del conventus Gaditanus (CIL II(2)/6).- 2. Ins- cripciones de los municipios antiguos en territorio portugués al este del Guadiana, financiado pelo Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad del Gobierno Español (FFI2016-77528-P. IP)
