Conii

The Conii were a pre-celtic tribe living in today's Algarve and South of Alentejo, regions of Southern Portugal. The main city of the country of the Conii was Conistorgis ( in Conii language it would mean "Royal City"), and it was destroyed by the Lusitanians, because the Conii had allied with the Romans during the Roman conquest of the Iberian Peninsula.

Some theories classify the Conii has of Celtic origin, while other classify them of Phoenician origin, some exotic theories classify them has one of the lost tribes of Abraham. The Conii were a historical people and, like the Lustianians, they possessed some form of writing that is still undecifred. Some reserchers, who thing they unvailed the Conii writing system, believe that these influenced the Romans in their writing and language.

Aperently, before the arrival of the Romans, the Conii were monoteist. This people alied with the Romans, when these wanted to dominate the Iberian Peninsula. The god of the Conii, was Elohin, following a translation of a stone that can be found today in Évora Museum.
