Silures A British tribe and
civitas. The Silures are mentioned by several Roman authors, among them Pliny, Ptolemy1, and
Tacitus. Tacitus actually described their physical characteristics—swarthy and curly‐haired. Their territory was south‐east Wales, and for a time in the period around AD 45–57 they led the British opposition to the Roman advance westwards.
