Caesarus

Caesarus (known as Césaro in Portuguese and Spanish) was a chieftain of the Lusitanians, a para-Celtic tribe from western Hispania. He followed and later replaced Punicus as their major military leader during the Lusitanian War. Caesarus might have previously accompanied him during his service as a mercenary for Phoenician or Punic territories in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. In any case, Caesarus then paraded mockingly with the Roman standards through the Iberian peninsula, helping to provoke the Second Celtiberian War. bringing the possibility it was a title gained during his military experience in Phoenician or Punic territories. It might derive from the word ksr, related to the Carthaginian god Kusor, or alternatively from kysr, translating as "elephant" (the same origin as the Roman surname and title Caesar).

In film and television The Spanish television series Hispania, La Leyenda (2010-2012) features Caesarus as the chief of Viriathus's home village. He is played by Lluís Marco.
