| Cantabrian Mountains | Cantabrian Mountains (Span. Cordillera Cantabrica), a mountain chain which extends for more than approximately 180 miles (300 km) across northern Spain, from the western limit of the Pyrenees to the borders of Galicia, and on or near the coast of the Bay of Biscay. The Cantabrians stretch from east to West, nearly parallel to the sea, as far as the pass of Leitariegos, afterwards trending southward between León and Galicia. Their western boundary is marked by the valley of the river Miño (Portuguese: Minho), by the lower Sil, which flows into the Miño, and by the Cabrera River, a small tributary of the Sil.

| Cantabrian Wars | According to what remains from representations on coins and steles, the Cantabri were well skilled in light arms. This explains what Lucan means when he says: Cantaber exiguis et longis Teutonus armis (The Cantabrian with his small arms and the Teuton with his long ones). The went equipped with small swords, daggers, small spears or javelins, lances, round or oval shields of wood, and leather chest protection. They also used a weapon like the Iberian falcata, and the bipinnis, a type of double-headed axe particular to the peoples of Northern Hispania. There is no proof of their use of archery or slings, although it is quite probable that they knew and used them. (references) | ||
