Ancient Siluria
THE authority of cadair, or the bardic chair, of Morganwg, extended over the present Morganwg, including the commot of Garthmathrin, or Brecon, Gwent, or Monmouthshire, and Ergyng, Euas, and Ystrad Yw, partly in Herefordshire, and partly in Breconshire. All this country, says Llewelyn Sion, a celebrated bard, who flourished about 1580, was of old called Essytnwo, and earlier still GWENT, including the Forest of Dean.

That it was anciently called ESSYLLWG (Siluria), is evident from what we find in the Roman writers, as well as in our own MSS. Caractacus is said to have been Prince of the Silurians. But that it was at that period also called GWENT, is likewise as clear from the Latin appellation, Venta Silurum, which occurs in the Roman writers. Both words in their etymological sense signify the same thing, or nearly so.^[1]
