"Viriatho: Narrativa epo-historica" by Teófilo Braga is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the complex and tumultuous relationship between the Lusitanian tribes and the Roman Empire, focusing on the character of Viriatho, a legendary leader who represents the struggle for independence and resistance against oppression. The text interweaves history and fiction to depict the struggles of a small yet tenacious people in the face of imperial dominance. At the start of the narrative, a sudden emergency meeting in the Roman Senate reveals the looming threat of Servio Sulpicio Galba, a Roman proconsul accused of atrocious acts against the Lusitanians. Galba's actions prompt a chain of events leading to outrage and resentment among the Lusitanian tribes, resulting in their eventual insurrection. The opening portion sets the stage by introducing key figures, such as Catão, the Censor, who condemns Galba's betrayal, while also hinting at Viriatho's symbolic role in igniting the spirit of rebellion amongst his people. As tensions escalate, it becomes clear that the call for vengeance against the Roman occupiers is only beginning, stirring a potent mixture of nationalist fervor and the quest for freedom.
