Autrigones were a tribe described by the Roman historian Orosius as neighbours of Gallaecia which is in the northwest of Hispania. Their historical territory now lies split between the provinces of Cantabria (east of Ason river), Burgos (north-east), Biscay (west of Nervion-Ibaizabal river), Alava (west) and La Rioja (west). They had harbour in Flaviobriga and/or Portus Amanus. Pliny writes about the 'ten states of the Autrigones' and says the only ones worth mention are Tritium and Virovesca (possibly the present Briviesca).^[1]
