Audax, Ditalcus and Minurus were the assassins of the Lusitanian leader Viriathus.

In 139, after a long war against the Romans, Viriathus was finally killed in his sleep by three of his companions, Audax, Ditalcus and Minurus, who had been sent as emissaries to the Romans and were bribed by Marcus Popillius Lenas. The Roman general Servilius Cipianus had them executed, however, declaring "Rome does not pay traitors".
