    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?
    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. >_>
