The Ordovices: A Celtic Tribe of Iron Age Wales

Ordovices was a Celtic tribe that lived in what is now Wales, during the Iron Age. They were one of the many tribes that made up the ancient Celtic world, and they played an important role in the history of Britain.

The Ordovices were known for their skill in metalworking, particularly in iron and bronze. They were also known for their fierce warrior culture and their ability to defend themselves against invaders. The tribe was divided into several smaller sub-tribes, each with its own leader and territory.

One of the most famous stories about the Ordovices is the legend of the "Ordovice Queen," a powerful female ruler who was said to have ruled over the tribe in the 1st century BC. According to the legend, she was a wise and just queen who brought peace and prosperity to her people, and she was revered as a goddess by her subjects.

The Ordovices were eventually absorbed into the Roman Empire, along with the rest of Britain, during the Roman conquest of Britain in the 1st century AD. Today, the name "Ordovices" is still remembered in Wales as a symbol of Celtic heritage and culture.
