# Disputatio:Lusitania

### E Vicipaedia

People sometimes argue about whether we should use an ancient name for a modern country, or latinize the modern form, but it seems to me that Portugallia is almost never used- Lusitania is used quite a bit, and my impression was that it was even used in modern Portugal.

Also, the name Portucale is sometimes used to refer to the country, not just to the city/region of Porto

  Texts I've noticed have drawn a distinction between the two entities of Portugallia and Lusitania, e.g.
    "Portugalliam impropriè Lusitaniam appellant, cùm alioqui nec tota Portugallia Lusitaniae finibus circumscripta sit, nec totam Lusitaniae complectitur: illud tamen negari non potest, potiorem Lusitaniae partem Portugalliae Regi parêre." —Abrahami Ortelii Antverpiani Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, 1570
  Of course that he would have to say so suggests the distinction may not have been widespread. —Myces Tiberinus 21:44, 19 Aprilis 2006 (UTC)

    Currently, the main article is at Lusitania, while the main category is at Categoria:Portugallia (Categoria:Lusitania exists but is almost empty). This is not too consistent.
    Moreover, I think we should have a subcategory for the cities.
    Any objections against moving the category to Categoria:Lusitania and creating a subcategory Categoria:Urbes Lusitaniae? I think the argument given above that Lusitania is more commonly used than Portugallia may justify this. Any objections? --UV 22:35, 15 Iunii 2006 (UTC)
      Nah, sounds good.--Ioshus Rocchio 23:02, 15 Iunii 2006 (UTC)
        ok, doing so. --UV 22:32, 26 Iunii 2006 (UTC)
