Turduli

Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography

TURDULI(Τουρδοῦλοι, Ptol. 2.4.10), a people in Hispania Baetica, very nearly connected with the Turdetani, and ultimately not to be distinguished from them. (Strab. 3. p. 139; Plb. 34.9). They dwelt to the E. and S. of the Turdetani, down to the shores of the Fretum Herculeum. A branch of them called the Turduli Veteres appears to have migrated into Lusitania, and to have settled to the S. of the Durius; where it is probable that in process of time they became amalgamated with the Lusitanians (Strab. 3. p. 151; Mela, 3.1.7; Plin. Nat. 3.1. s. 3, 4.21. s. 35; cf. Florez, Esp. Sagr. 9. p. 7).
