Destroying the Druids on Mona

Description

Roedd milwyr Rhufain wedi gorymdeithio o Viroconium i’r arfordir a wynebai ynys y Derwyddon – Môn – a nawr roedd yn gyfnod lladdfa a dinistr pobl a’u lleoedd sanctaidd mewn gwaed a fflamau gan elyn oedd am eu difodi’n llwyr. Doedd y Derwyddon ddim yn ymladd ag arfau, ond roedd grym eu geiriau a’u diwylliant ymysg llwythau Britannia yn peri dychryn mawr i beiriant rhyfel Rhufain.
Rome had marched from Viroconium to the shore facing the island of the Druids. Now came the time of slaughter and destruction of a people and their sacred places, bathed in blood and flames by a foe intent on their utter annihilation. The Druids had not fought with weapons; it was the power of their word and culture amongst the tribes of Britannia that Rome’s war machine feared the most.
