The Age of Arthur is the next chapter in the history of Britain and the building of the nation of Wales... early stages but a new video is slowly emerging
Since when was Wales (Cambria) conquered by Rome? (Wales as a Kingdom that is similar to modern day Wales wouldn't even be founded until 383ad) Several Emperors clearly stated that the Silures of South Wales and the Romans came to peace via a natural decline of engagements. The Romans, by force, only got into Wales as far as Caerleon, Caratacus' family after he was betrayed and captured came to Wales and would establish the first British/Roman Monarchy which would include the likes of Linus, Andrigathius, Constantine the Great and Magnus Maximus. (Would die out with Iestyn Ap Gwrgan) Wales being conquered by virtually everyone is nothing but a bitter English academic lie. As it was they who were forcefully taken over, which shows why they were so quick to jump at an Anglo Saxon cultural shift.
Whilst Roman occupation was light outside of the 55 and 75 campaigns there is definitely Roman forts across the country. What is clear is that Wales has always assimilated outside rule.. Medieval Wales was a combination of both ancient Celtic heritage and Roman culture, likewise post Medieval period has seen Welsh culture and language surviving yet adoption of English culture.. to the point the castles of oppression are as much Welsh identity. I have no doubt welsh culture will endure, taking what it wants from outside influences yet painting a strong identity
@@julesdingle indeed, the explanation of Wales assimilating is a perfect way of looking at how the Britons of Wales and Rome interacted. It was clearly a Culturaln adaptation, as opposed to some sort of violent onslaught. The fact we have Villa's that seem Roman but show Celtic artwork alludes to closer ties than some may think. Inter Marriages more than likely.
There is not one piece of evidence anywhere that suggests Wales was conquered, Writings from the Romans themselves suggest the Silures made a deal and come to peace after many decades of war.
It is interesting that Carmarthen embraced Roman culture and certainly did not put up a fight and that in the Llyn peninsular Celtic hill forts continued into the Roman period, a peace after over 40 years of resistance is not in dispute
@@thomasellis445 certainly by the 4th and 5th century- Roman Britain was shrinking into Roma-Celtic Britain and key settlements were distinctively Welsh/British with the onslaught of Saxons !
The camera work and other images are stunning. Gorgeous. Unfortunately, the narrator is very difficult to understand. Much worse than non standard pronunciations, simple words are incomprehensible, and there are multiple grammar errors. I tried the subtitles but the AI could not understand any better than I could. An example of the grammar errors would be “the welsh tribes took what it wanted from Rome”. There is not even accord between the subject and the verb. Vein Vidi Vivci is not pronounced “vee cee”. “A question I have long aft” and so on. “The bold hills were a consequence of ??? farming methods.” Shewsbury. (?) for shRewsbury. Whose dike? You really have to know the material beforehand and then interpolate. The camera work is so stunning. I suggest finding another narrator and then you will have a huge following.
sorry to hear you had problems with my pronunciation.. I'm a one man band of filming, editing, writing and narrating ..and always looking to improve on delivering the subject matter at hand. And yes always lots of room for improvement. [BTW 'shrewsbury' or Shrowsbury are both accepted as local pronunciations Glad you liked the footage.
somebody who knows there history, TF!!!! your gonna have to do one, on how the suurites, welsh! went on tour, in 350 bc, sacked Rome, done some early knight clubbing, then came back to Briton, and set up a complete road newtwork of roads, centuries before the Romans, and those bloody Germans ( english ) landed and let all the migrants in!
Not quite, Celtic is a linguistic group rather than a people - although there is debate concerning how unified they were. Prior to the Romans they spent a lot time fighting each other. Interestingly the sacking of Rome is recorded in British Celtic myth & being a people of language the stories were shared across Europe . Unified in culture, divided by cattle rustling ! British Celts ended up in Brittany [Lesser Britain] after a failed Roman coup attempt in the 4th century, and despite waves of Saxons, then Danes, then Normans the majority of the population carried on only changing their ruler
I greatly enjoyed your filming. I was brought up near Caersws and you have inspired me to visit more places. Thanks
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I need more. This finished on a cliffhanger

So all the Roman forts in north wales are Celtic forts?
