Lusitania was an ancient Roman province which was part of Hispania Tarraconensis. It includes much of modern Portugal and a portion of western Spain.
The people who inhabited Lusitania were known as the 'Lusitani' or, as they are often referred to by modern historians, the 'Lusitans'. They, like many non-Roman peoples, were described as 'barbaric' and 'savage' by Roman authors. However, we now understand that this was far from true based on the discovery of countless pieces of intricate Lusitan artwork including statues and weaponry.
Many people from modern Portugal and even western Spain view the Lusitans as their ancestors. Viriato, a Lusitan leader and war-hero, is a national hero in Portugal. There is a commemorative statue of him in Viseu, Portugal.

The midpoint point between illusion and delusion that is the most clear representation of our reality on this earth. It refers to self governance as the meaning in our lives, free from the power games of societies which are the illusion and free from the control of external forces over our material being. This is the state of peace and clarity of mind.
By observing the reality outside of my self and understanding the nature of the greatest depths inside of my self, I have now reached a state of lusion that will enable me to work toward freedom from both.

Get the lusion mug.Lucian is the most amazing guy in the world. He is very hard working and it always pays off. You get to know him as a friend first and you find out he has an amazing sense of humour, is incredibly intelligent and is so beautifully handsome. You then realise that you have fallen so deeply in love with him that there is no way out, you just have to dig deeper and deeper till you find his heart. And trust me, finding Lucian's heart is the best thing that could ever happen to you. And if youre extra lucky then he will return youre love and there you have it- the most powerful love in the whole entire universe. He is amazing with words and has the most amazing lips ever, you see them and all you want to do is press your lips hard against his and close your eyes and let time freeze. There are more reasons why i love Lucian than stars in the sky but i cant possibly list them all. So i will leave it with this. Lucian will make you the happiest girl alive. I love you Lucian <3

Get the Lucian mug.She is a crazy person but she is so nice. She is good at soccer and athletic. She is depressed and hides her feelings so nobody will ask if she is ok. Her friends say that they are more sad and they need all the attention. Even though Luciana helps others with there life and not hers. Luciana needs a lot more healthy friendship. She also hates anything girly and is a tomboy. Luciana makes a lot of guy friends but she doesn’t hang out with anybody and spends her time alone. Next time you see a Luciana help her and never let her go.
