In a
defense of the Spanish Inquisition in Asia Times, Spengler repeats a line from an earlier essay:
The early Christian Church encountered a great extinction of peoples and their cultures through the rise and fall of the Alexandrine and Roman empires. Who now remembers the Lusitani, the Illyrians, the Sicani, the Quadians, Sarmatians, Alans, Gepidians, Herulians, Pannonians and a thousand other tribes of Roman times?
I didn't comment earlier, but since he's repeating it I feel compelled to point out that the Portuguese still refer to themselves as the
Povo Luso, the Lusitani People. They remember.
