Viriathus Statue

Viriathus Statue in Viseu is a memorial for Viriathus, who was the most important leader of the Lusitanian tribe that resisted the Roman expansion into the regions of Western Iberia, considered a Portuguese national hero and lived from 180 BC to 139 BC. This Portuguese hero led the Lusitanian guerrilla to many victories over the Romans, between 147 BC and 139 BC, before he was betrayed by some of his own men and killed.

I wonder if the Portugese government has published any biographical information about Viriathus? Perhaps an author has endeavoured to write an in-depth treatment of his life?

I am trying to learn as much as I can about Viriathus. Unfortunately, most of the online resources are not in English (go figure). If you could help me in any way, I would be most grateful.
