Demetae
Demetae. Indigenous British tribe of the Iron Age and Roman periods whose territory covered Pembrokeshire and much of Carmarthenshire in south-west Wales. The Demetae appear not to have been intensively garrisoned by the Roman army, except along their eastern border, which may have been to protect them from their hostile neighbours the Silures. The tribe was incorporated into the province of Britannia and became a civitas. The civitas-capital has been identified as Carmarthen (Moridunum Demetarum), dating from c. ad 75.
