This is the story of the Roman conquest of Anglesey.

So glad to discover this channel. There's not a ton about Welsh history out there, and after visiting the country 20 years ago I was absolutely enchanted. I've even been to Anglesey! Although I spent a lot more time in Caernarvon. Hopefully your channel grows well, there's certainly a niche out there for it.

What a wonderful video. I shared it with others at our website after the recent discovery of Roman bracelets on Anglesey.

Nice one, I hope you make more vids on Cymru, not a lot out there unfortunately, especially on druids or iron age stuff, or even neolithic stuff, which is always facinating. Keep em coming please

No evidence that the Silures ever were defeated. They fought the Romans for thirty years, twenty of them even after their leader, Caradoc was betrayed by the Brigantes. The Romans certainly built a large town, Caerwent, for them to run as a civitas and to keep their royal line. Cardiff, Caerdydd, is so called because it means the City of the Agreement. It was where the Romans and Silures AGREED to end their warfare.

What is the matter with you people? Can't you determine a lie when you hear it? There was not one ounce of truth in his fancy little story. Tacitus never said any of those things and there is no such history given by anyone. Mona was the first and original Abby on the island and it was destroyed by the Norman invaders in AD 853, but the island was called Mona and Anglesey in the chronicles.

I am compelled to disagree, there is no archeological evidence the Romans actually invaded Briton, landing at Kent would make even less sense as there is no national inlet to land their ships, however there is evidence the Romans were invited to Briton by Chiefs or petty Kings of southern tribes that had been trading with people around the Mediterranean and needed help dealing with their neighbours in the North, you could say the South Celtic tribes Romanised themselves... Obviously the rest of the Celtic tribes didn't like this intrusion and put up a fight... Also the Romans did sacrifice to their gods the way described, no profe the Celts did the same... But really could the Romans judge... And I argue that the Roman legions had no opportunity to take on the Druids then march all the way back to Eastern Briton to deal with the Celt uprising... I find any Roman account of Britons history, exaggerated and flimsy at best, I would not rely on it to be factual and I much prefer the archeological evidence... For instance Fishbone was built by a Romanised Briton, not a Roman... However I enjoyed your videos.😺🐈👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Always found it quite rich of the Romans to accuse other cultures of human sacrifice as if they didnt do things more horrific themselves. Just goes to show that history really is written by the victors.
