The Vettones, a tribe residing between the Tagus and Upper Douro, were influenced by this success and joined the Lusitanians in their resistance.

This alliance enabled the Lusitanians to extend their raids, reaching the Mediterranean and even threatening the territories of the Blastophoenicians near New Carthage (Cartagena).

[1] Before the consul Quintus Fulvius Nobilior could arrive with his forces, a significant engagement occurred on the right bank of the Tagus River between the Roman praetor Lucius Mummius and the Lusitanians, now led by Caesarus after Punicus's death.

Initially, the Romans gained success, breaking the Lusitanian army and capturing their camp.

[1][2] After their victory, the Lusitanians crossed the Tagus and attacked the Cunei and conquered their town, Conistorgis.
