The Roman Conquest of Asturias: A New approach
Abstract
The ancient evidence does not clarify the Roman military presence in Asturias during the period of the Asturian-Cantabrian wars. Somenthing similar happens to the archaeological remains. Therefore we think the military actions could be developed in the Cantabrian mountain range (into the territory of the Asturian people) and in the littoral strip (the participation of the Roman fleet). The hinterland could have been controlled afterwards through communication routes. The design of these routes was done after the end of the wars and was consolidated in times of Augustus’ successors.
