 The only extant writing on this war, apart from some references in passing by other authors, are a brief account by Florus and another equally brief one by Orosius.Both authors concentrated on when Augustus was engaged in the war.Florus wrote that the Cantabri tried to domineer their neighbours and harassed them, carrying out frequent raids on the Autrigones (who lived between the Atlantic and the source of the River Ebro) to their east, the Curgoni (or Turmodigi, in the area within the Arlanzón and Arlanza river valleys in the modern province of Burgos) to their southeast, and the Vaccaei (in the northwest of central Hispania) to their south.
