==Introduction==
It is known that in [[Galicia (Spain)|Galicia]] there were human settlers since prehistoric times, dating back to 3.000 years BC. The Greeks (so told by [[Strabo]], b. 63 BC-d. 24 BC) knew the settlers resided on the north of the river [[Douro]] by the name of [[Kallaikoi]], later the name Kallaikoi was translated into Latin as Gallaeci, Callaeci or Gallaicoi.

(contracted; show full)uence that the Gaedels had obtained in the Cantabrian wars. In the provincial division of Dioclecianus, of year 305, the province of Gallaecia will even occupy all the territory from the Cantabrian sea and the Atlantic to river Douro and the Iberian system by the West, partially absorbing Celtiberia too, area of an old Celtic origin, quite different of the Gallaic one.
