 | | The country, like the whole of Great Britain south of the Scottish Highlands, was occupied by Brythonic-speaking Celts from about 600 bc, bringing with them Iron Age technology and the Druidic religion. |
 | | At the time of the first coming of the Romans to Wales in 55 bc, the country was inhabited by the Silures in the south-east, the Demetii in the south-west, the Ordovicii in the north-west, and the Deceangli in the north-east. |
 | | After a long struggle, the subjugation of these tribes was completed during the reign (ad 69-79) of the Roman emperor Vespasian. |
