Iberian Web Bibliography Request

[Jolt]

Hey guys, since I'm going down to exams these following days, and I got one about Proto-Historical Iberia (Bronze Final to Iron Age/Pre-Roman Period)

I was wondering what good sources are there in the web. I already got the basic guides (Strabo & "Maritime Edge"? Dunno how it's written in English), plus some other nifty stuff. I was wondering if there was anything else someone knew (Particularly Lusotannan/Iberian Historians)

I think you mean the Ora Maritima by Avienus, no?

Anyway, on the web, you're pretty much screwed, if you want to find concrete and serious analysis.

I think you should be able to find at least the primary sources. For the Lusitanians in particular, Appian is the most important who's based on Polybius, followed by Diodorus Siculus who draws from Posidonius, who drew from Polybius as well. Strabo also has a few chapters on the war in Iberia, as does Livy and it's commentators Florus and Orosius. A few tidbits can be found in Justinius, Eutropius, Veleius Paterculus, Cicero, Aurelius Victor, Frontinus and Silius Italicus. Finally Cassius Dio, gives a more independent view on the wars in Iberia.

As for proper books and articles, I'm afraid I can only suggest a library. Where do you live?

If Polybius is any good I have a link to an online translation.

I'm study in FLUP, which is obviously in Porto. That university has a good amount of knowledge on books, but having it in a virtual support would be much better, hence why my question.

EDIT: Do post the translation please. :)
EDIT 2: Yeah, it was Ora Maritima. >_>

Have you tried databases like Jstor and the likes. I bet you're university gives you acces to a couple. Though I don't think that Jstor will have much about it though. You're best bet is probably one of the university's libraries. (And because of your country I bet there'll be quite some information about pre roman iberia.)

Bleh, what a stupid test. Our professor ordered us to study the whole friggin entire Iberian Proto-History, and his exam question was:

"Make a commentary about Strabo's Book III; Chapter 3".

ARGH!
