In the years after Cato, Rome sent to governors of Hispania less prominently, despite the illustrious names that showcased some of them: So Scipio Nasic, who managed to get their hands on some game that had been devoted Lusitanian looting cities under their protection. Nobilior, one of them, crossed Despeñaperros, beat and subdued the Carpetani, captured Toledo, defeated the vacceos and vetones, who came to the aid of the city, and arrested Hilerno, the chief in command. His successor, Lucio Emilio Paulo (191-190) is not noted for his military successes, but it's worth to be remembered as the only governor who did not use his position to enrich themselves, for whatever gave him the collected treasure left to die just his wife enough to return the dowry that she had received to marry.

It all came down to a lesson that would soon fall into oblivion. Background or attacked the root of the instability of Lusitanian and the Celts or even military measures were taken to prevent further attacks.
