ooh tjj I found this page
http://www.roman-britain.org/tribes/silures.htm
which is very interesting because it's got translations of what Tacitus etc were saying about them at the time. Which is all very biased I'm sure, but at least it's contemporary.
I found a whole load of stuff about them and then discovered that it was actually a 18th?C pack of lies and fantasy - I guess that's all too common.
I'm sure I'm packed with Silurian blood myself.
It's 100% irrelevant, but one of my favourite book titles is "Silurian Cephalopods of the Welsh Borderland." It's dull and technical about fossils, but I love the way the words roll off the tongue.
