Pre-Roman Times
In Pre-Roman Portugal, the area was inhabited by the Cynetes (or Conii), a people (formed by several tribes) of linguistic and ethnic affiliation, possibly Celts, Celtic or Pre-Roman peoples of the Iberian Peninsula, Iberian, whose territory included the modern area of the Beja District. This former territory of the ''Cysteines'' ran from the mouth of the Mira River (Portugal), Mira River all the way to the Guadiana, Guadiana River. It is possible that they were related to the Tartessos (people whose linguistic and ethnic affiliation is also not yet fully known or determined), but were not the same people.Roman Times
