[edit] Location
There are some reasons to identificate the Tamagani with the Southern Galician valley of Verín (also said Valley of Monterrei) , province of Orense, in which the river Tâmega or Támega also flows, and even it is "born". As I had wrote (in article Tamaganos, Galician wikipedia) in these valley exits today two villages Tamagos (evidently as any Portuguese, with Limguistic knowledge, knows Tamagos < Tamaganos, with -n- > 0, and reduction of resultant -ao- > -o-, as in MOLA > mô, all strictly after evolution laws from Latin to Galician-Portuguese) and Tamaguelos, a notorious diminutive from the first, with a simple adiction of a Latin suffix -ellos > -elos).
A second reason is epigraphic: in Castro de Cabanca, near Castrelo do Val, a little village, it is discovered a Roman inscription of a man:" ---tamagano, decurion in Ala I Gigurrorum".
I like not denied that Tamagani lived near of Chaves, but it is too much restrictive to identificate Tamagani only with Northern Portugal. Gallaecia was from river Douro to Cantabrian Sea or Biscay Gulf, and the Conventus bracarensis reached river Sil, or, in another way, almost all Southern Galicia. - IP 213603030, 2007 May 4, 0:47
