Talk:Cantabri

Celtic people

I removed the source listed as a reference for this claim and added the Citation Needed block. It is true that the Cantabri are believed to be a celtic federation; there is little debate on the matter at this point, however, the source in the article is a translation of Strabo's Geography, that is very primary. Strabo lived at the time of the Cantabrian War, and his Geograhy does not provide obvious justification on the ethnicity of the Cantabri. I believe a secondary source is needed.

Let me give you an example of Strabo being incoherent with the idea of Celtic Cantabri (from the same source I removed, bold faces added by me):

For instance, at the time of the Cantabrian War mothers killed their children before being taken captive; and even a small boy, whose parents and brothers were in fetters as captives of war, gained possession of a sword and, at the command of his father, killed them all; and a woman killed all her fellow captives; and a certain Cantabrian, upon being summoned into the presence of drunken men, threw himself upon a pyre. But these traits too are shared in common by them with the Celtic as also with the Thracian and Scythian tribes[…]

Strabo, Geography. Vol II

I am sure there are countless papers and articles on this particular issue. Morecar (talk) 23:48, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
