Scotmonk Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Hi, I'm a new user and this is my first post. As I live in Asturias, Spain I am trying to research info regarding the Roman conquest of northern Spain circa 29-19BC - the Cantabrian-Asturian wars. Bizarrely, there are no books in English on this theatre of conflict - indeed, there appears only one English work on the Roman-Hispanic conflict in general ( which gets very 'mixed' reviews ). I would be very grateful for any info, tips, directions and/or links that might help me in studying this arena. Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompieus Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) If you can get hold of the Cambridge Ancient History (2d edition) Vol X pg 164-165; there E Gruen laments that "Confusion in the sources prevents a confident reconstruction of events, geography or chronology." and cites the sources (Florus II.33.48-50, Orosius VI.21.3-5) and "scholarly discussions" in a footnote. One of the discussions noted (which is in English) is R. Syme "The Spanish War of Augustus", American Journal of Philology 55 (1934) 293-317.
