Cantabrian War

The Cantabrian War (29-19 BC) was a conflict in ancient Spain between the Romans and the indigenous Cantabrians, who resisted Roman conquest. The Romans, led by General Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and later Augustus, sought to integrate the region into the Roman Empire. The war was marked by fierce guerrilla tactics by the Cantabrians, who used their knowledge of the rugged terrain to their advantage. Ultimately, the Romans prevailed, leading to the subjugation of the region and its eventual Romanization, which significantly impacted the culture and governance of northern Hispania.
