Preface. Suetonius

*
"The Barddas of Iolo Morganwg, Vol. I.", ed. by J. Williams Ab Ithel, [1862],

C. Suetonius Tranquillus.

Suetonius flourished in the beginning of the second century. He describes "the Druidic religion among the Gauls as one of terrible cruelty." 1 We presume that he here refers to their practice of sacrificing men, which, as we have already noticed, seems to have sprung from the Bardic doctrine of "eneidvaddeu".
