SILURES

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 109 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SILURES , a powerful and warlike tribe in ancient Britain, occupying approximately the counties of Monmouth,
Brecon
  and Glamorgan. They made a fierce resistance to the Roman conquest about A.U. 48, but a legionary fortress (Isca Silurum, Cwrleon) was planted in their midst and by A.D. 78 they were overcome. Their town Venta Silurum (Cmrwent, 6 m. W. of Chepstow) became a Romanized town, not unlike Silchester, but smaller. Its massive Roman walls still survive, and
recent
  excavations have revealed a town
hall
  and market square, a temple, baths,
amphitheatre
 , and many comfortable houses with mosaics, &c. An inscription shows that under the Roman
Empire
  it was the chef-lieu of the Silures, whose ordo or county council provided for the local government of the
district
 . (F. J. H.)
